Making a Superconductor-What We Did. Definition: Back to Table of Contents Superconductors are materials that exhibit zero resistivity (see Ohm's Law and Resistivity supplement below under Theory ) below a critical temperature (T c ), which depends upon the material. Figure taken from Tipler, Paul A. Physics: For Scientists and Engineers . New York: Worth Publishers, 1991. The presence of an external magnetic field lowers the value of T c , and if the field is of sufficient strength (greater than some critical value B c ), then superconductivity ceases in the material regardless of the temperature. Type I and Type II Superconductors Superconductors are classified as either type I or type II , the former applying to the original elemental superconductors such zinc, mercury, and aluminum, and the later referring to the more modern compounds such as yttrium barium cuprate. Type I and type II superconductors and how they differ, along with the Meissner effect, is discussed in greater length under the

Extractions: Oxides like silica are normally insulators because the electrons are intimately associated with the individual bonds or ions. Metals can conduct because the electrons are relatively free. But there are oxides that can become metallic conductors, or even superconductors. The most interesting contain "mixed valence" atoms such as copper that can give up a variable number of electrons when bonding. According to Pauling's ideas about chemical bonds, by looking at the co-ordination of these atoms, we can usually tell something about their valence. For example, look at the co-ordination of copper in one of the new ceramic oxide superconductor . The copper (Cu) are the green atoms, the oxygen are as usual red and barium is blue. Clearly there are two kinds of copper atom - those that are co-ordinated by 4 oxygen atoms (green squares), typical of divalent Cu++, and those that have a fifth oxygen atom (green pyramids). This material has zero electrical resistance even above the temperature of liquid air - cold but easy to produce and handle. This is truly amazing, and a few years ago would have been thought impossible. If we heat this remarkable superconductor in the absence of oxygen it loses one of its oxygen atoms and becomes the insulator with a very similar structure. The oxygen is lost from one particular site; the chains of CuO4 squares. Copper in these squares is left with only two oxygen atoms, typical of monovalent Cu+. Copper is said to have been "reduced" from Cu++ to Cu+. Oxygen and superconductivity can be restored by "oxidising" the copper again from Cu+ to Cu++. This solid state chemistry is clearly responsible for the unusual electrical properties.

Extractions: A superconductor can conduct electricity without electrical resistance at temperatures above absolute zero. The change from normal electrical conductivity to superconductivity occurs abruptly at a critical temperature T c A superconductor is also able to exclude the surrounding magnetic field. This is known as the Meissner Effect. When a small, strong magnet approaches a superconductor, it induces a current in the superconductor. Because the current flows inside the superconductor without electrical resistance, the current induces its own magnetic field which can repel the magnet, producing a force to counteract gravity in order to levitate the magnet above the surface of the superconductor. Superconductors are used in medical instruments such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) systems.

Extractions: The Yamanashi MLX01 MagLev train. Uses for Superconductors Magnetic-levitation is an application where superconductors perform extremely well. Transport vehicles such as trains can be made to "float" on strong superconducting magnets, virtually eliminating friction between the train and its tracks. Not only would conventional electromagnets waste much of the electrical energy as heat, they would have to be physically much larger than superconducting magnets. A landmark for the commercial use of MAGLEV technology occurred in 1990 when it gained the status of a nationally-funded project in Japan. The Minister of Transport authorized construction of the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line which opened on April 3, 1997. Two years later on April 14, 1999, the MLX01 test vehicle (shown above) attained an incredible speed of 343 miles per hour. Although the technology has now been proven, the wider use of MAGLEV vehicles has been constrained by political and environmental concerns. The world's only MAGLEV train to be adopted into commercial service, a shuttle in Birmingham, England, shut down in 1997 after operating for 11 years. Meanwhile, the U.S. has plans to have its first Maglev train in operation by the spring of 2003, on a

FUNDAMENTALS OF SUPERCONDUCTORS

Extractions: The theoretical understanding of superconductivity is extremely complicated and involved. It is far beyond the scope of this video booklet to attempt to discuss the quantum mechanics of superconductors. However, in this section fundamental terms and phenomena of superconductors will be discussed. Superconductors have the ability to conduct electricity without the loss of energy. When current flows in an ordinary conductor, for example copper wire, some energy is lost. In a light bulb or electric heater, the electrical resistance creates light and heat. In metals such as copper and aluminum, electricity is conducted as outer energy level electrons migrate as individuals from one atom to another. These atoms form a vibrating lattice within the metal conductor; the warmer the metal the more it vibrates. As the electrons begin moving through the maze, they collide with tiny impurities or imperfections in the lattice. When the electrons bump into these obstacles they fly off in all directions and lose energy in the form of heat. Figure (3) is a drawing that shows atoms arranged in a crystalline lattice and moving electrons bouncing off the atoms that are in their way.

Superconductors Show Their Stripes
Charge 'stripes' have been observed in the most widely studied hightemperature superconductor, bolstering a theory that says they're the key to carrying electricity without resistance.
http://focus.aps.org/v9/st12.html

Extractions: Like tigers and zebras, high-temperature superconductors appear to be curious beasts, distinguished by their stripes. Some physicists believe that electricity runs without resistance along lines, or "stripes," of electric charge in these materials. That controversial theory gets a big boost now that a team has finally observed these stripes in the most widely studied of the so-called cuprate superconductors, as reported in the 4 March print issue of PRL . The researchers' large crystal sample enabled them to detect new details in neutron scattering data that support the notion that you can't separate a cuprate superconductor from its stripes. The cuprate superconductors are something like multi-tiered dance halls for electric charges. They consist of parallel planes of copper and oxygen atoms. Within each plane the copper atoms arrange themselves in a square grid, with an oxygen atom sitting between each pair of neighboring coppers. Between the planes lie atoms of other elements, and some of these absorb electrons from the copper atoms, leaving positively charged "holes" behind. Researchers know that these holes pair up to waltz without resistance along the planes. However, they aren't sure how the like-charged holes manage to cling together.
