Extractions: matters of state gravity waves far out planets whole grains ... physics in action archives About Superconductivity How would you like to board a Maglev train and then speed off to your destination at more than 300 miles per hour? The magnets that levitate these trains are an application of superconductivity Metals are good conductors of electric current. That is, they have very low electrical resistance, but this resistance is not zero. A voltage difference is still required to generate the current in the metal, and the metal heats up while the current is flowing. The electrical resistance of an object depends on its temperature and declines slowly as the temperature falls. Early in the last century, however, a Dutch physicist discovered that a sample of mercury, when cooled below a certain temperature close to absolute zero, loses all electrical resistance. When the mercury is in this state, an electric current flows indefinitely, even in the absence of any applied voltage. This effect is called "superconductivity." The table lists the everyday metals that exhibit superconductivity and the temperature below which electrical resistance disappears. These elements require cooling by liquid helium to become superconductors. Such materials are called "low-temperature superconductors." Much later, in the 1980s, physicists discovered ceramic compounds that exhibit superconductivity at temperatures as high as -145º Celsius. This temperature is high enough that the materials need be cooled only with liquid nitrogen, which is far less expensive to do than with liquid helium.

http://www.math.iastate.edu/research/super/homepage.html

Extractions: Research supported in part by NSF, AFSOR We have achieved significant progress in the modeling, analysis, and computation of superconducting phenomena. Our work has focused on mezoscale models as typified by the celebrated Ginzburg-Landau equations; these models are intermediate between the microscopic models (that can be used to understand the basic structure of superconductors and of the atomic and sub-atomic behavior of these materials) and the macroscale, or homogenized, models (that can be of use for the design of devices). Mezoscale models are of great use in understanding important phenomena in superconductors such as pinning, vortex motion, critical currents, Josephson effects, fluctuations, vortex glass and vortex fluid structures, resistivity, etc. The goals of our past, present, and future efforts in superconductivity center on the following aspects: to develop or refine mezoscale and macroscale models for superconductivity so to enlarge the range of physical problems for which such models are valid; to analyze these models in order to gain further understanding of the properties of these models and of their solutions, and also to determine their validity and usefulness for solving physically interesting problems;

http://www.chemsoc.org/exemplarchem/entries/igrant/whatis_noflash.html

Extractions: Superconductivity is a phenomenon displayed by some materials when they are cooled below a certain temperature, known as the superconducting critical temperature, T c. Below T c, superconducting materials exhibit two characteristic properties: Zero electrical resistance means that no energy is lost as heat as the material conducts electricity - this has many applications, which you can read about in the Uses section. The second of these properties, perfect diamagnetism, means that the superconducting material will exclude a magnetic field - this is known as the Meissner effect (after its discoverer), and can be used to display extraordinary physical effects: Left: The Meissner effect is used to levitate a superconductor above a magnet.

NREL Basic Sciences-Superconductivity
A great deal of current research and development in hightemperature superconductivityfocuses on the development of superconducting wires and other system
http://www.nrel.gov/basic_sciences/supercon.html

Extractions: Because of their tremendous potential as a means of storing, transmitting, and distributing electricity, high-temperature superconducting materials, systems, and components are an important area of research and development in NREL's Center for Basic Sciences. The superconducting systems of the future will allow us to transmit electricity through power lines much more efficiently than we now can. In low-temperature superconducting materials, electric currents encounter almost no resistance. The challenge is to maintain that characteristic without having to keep the systems so cold. Already dramatically used in such applications as high-speed, magnetic-levitated trains, superconductors are being developed in laboratories such as NREL's for use in microelectronics and communications. A great deal of current research and development in high-temperature superconductivity focuses on the development of superconducting wires and other system components. Superconducting wires must be strong and flexible, and they must be capable of carrying a large amount of current a long distance in a magnetic field. One result of NREL's work in superconductivity is a new chemical etch that can be used in producing superconducting microelectronic circuits. We have also developed a new high-temperature superconducting film consisting of a barium-calcium-copper precursor eletrodeposited on a lanthanum-aluminum-oxide base, or substrate, followed by thallination heat treatment. Those who developed this film also achieved a world-record critical current density, which is a measure of how much current a wire can carry divided by its cross-sectional area. The goal in DOE-funded research is a critical current density of 10,000 to 100,000 amperes per square centimeter.

http://www.lce.hut.fi/~karttune/SC/

Extractions: We study the onset of instability in a thin superconducting ring. A periodic instability appears when the supercurrent is driven by an applied external voltage to the point of instability at temperatures below the critical temperature. The main contribution of this study is to investigate how the new state is selected when the system reaches the point of instability. That is, how the selection process is affected by different factors, such as the rate at which the system is driven. The generation of Ohmic resistance due to the dissipative phase slip state at the point of instability is studied. The problem of state selection at the onset of instability is a generic problem in pattern formation systems. Our results show that the onset of dissipation leads to strong non-linear effects in the state selection process. This page is intended to give a flavor of some of the interesting problems related to nonequilibrium superconductivity and state selection in driven systems. In this page you'll find MPEG movies demonstrating some of the phenomena discussed in the text, and at the bottom of the page I have listed a couple of references that include in-depth discussions of superconductivity, nonequilibrium effects, and instabilities.

Back to Physics News Update Number 529 #4, March 8, 2001 by Phil Schewe, James Riordon, and Ben Stein Superconductivity in Plastic Superconductivity in plastic has been observed by Bertram Batlogg at Bell Labs. Plastic is an artificial polymer material usually made conducting by adding impurities. A film made of the polythiophene material used in the experiment consists of long, conjugated molecules (with side groups of atoms residing on alternating sides of a long carbon-based spine and with alternating single and double bonding between carbon atoms) which nicely organize themselves on a substrate. At room temperature the sample is a good conductor, and at temperatures below 2.35 K it actually becomes superconducting. The needed extra encouragement for superconductivity comes in the form of charges injected via overlying electrodes situated in a transistor-like setup. (Schon et al., Nature , 8 March 2001.)

Understanding hightemperature superconductivity. by Jarrett Cohen, Staff Associate,Director's Office What is the physical origin of their superconductivity?
http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Pubs/access/93.1/93.1Supercond.html

Extractions: by Jarrett Cohen, Staff Associate, Director's Office ``Superconductivity is perhaps the most remarkable physical property in the universe,'' says David Pines, UIUC Center for Advanced Study Professor of physics and electrical and computer engineering, who has been seeking to understand superconductivity for nearly 40 years. Pines' research in physics ranges from microscopic processes to neutron stars. ``What makes superconductors so fascinating is their ability to carry electrical current without resistance and to shield out external magnetic fields,'' he adds. Discovered in 1911, little progress was made in developing a fundamental theory of their behavior until the 1957 publication of the microscopic theory, or BCS theory, by John Bardeen, Leon N. Cooper, and J. Robert Schrieffer, for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1972. The BCS theory describes superconductivity in low-temperature metalssuch as mercury and leadand is based on an attractive interaction between electrons that results from their coupling to phonons. Phonons are quantized modes of atomic vibration that propagate throughout the lattice of a solid. In low-temperature superconductors, quasiparticles (electrons plus their associated screening clouds) disturb the phonons and create a force that overcomes the electrons' repulsive charges. The electrons then form a quantum state made up of Cooper pairs, which cannot scatter off the phonons, thereby eliminating resistance.

Extractions: Superconductivity Southampton University is amongst the world leaders in the development of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) materials. Beside the Physics Department, and the Chemistry Department, the Applied superconductivity Group at the Institute of Cryogenic (IOC) has been active since 1987, one year after the discovery of HTS. The interest of the group is in power applications and within this context the main effort is focused on the optimization and characterization of 123 bulk materials and Bi-based superconducting tapes The development of the group was supported by grants from EPSRC DTI , and NGC and at present IOC has the largest academic group working on Bi-based superconducting tapes , and ac losses . CASE studentships are supported by Merck, Oxford instruments, and EA Technology to study precursors optimization, critical current homogeneity and cryogenic stabilisation in pancake coils (transformer coils) made with HTS tapes. Also the IOC was part of the Rolling Grant. The expertise of the IOC in the design and construction of cryogenic systems, heat transfer to cryogen and HTS materials ensures the maxiamum efficiency in the development of the new HTS technology. We therefore claim that Southampton is very well positioned to continue being a UK centre for research into development and applications of HTS superconductors.
