superconductivity
/ˌsuːpəkɒndʌkˈtɪvɪti
/noun [mass noun] Physics
The property of zero electrical resistance in some substances at very low absolute temperatures.These chemically complex materials can, in fact, provide more information about superconductivity and magnetism than supposedly simple materials....
- Such variation in the transition temperatures allows the salient energy scales for antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity to be varied over a wide range and examined in two very different limits.
- It aims to develop technologies across a wide range of disciplines including superconductivity, nanotechnology, data storage, photonics and power electronics.
Derivatives
superconduct
- Lithium brings the number of elements that superconduct under pressure to 23, which is close to the number of elements that are superconductors at ambient pressure.
- They are hoping to be able to make it superconduct.
- In 1986 excitement ensued when certain copper-oxide ceramics were discovered which superconduct at higher temperatures.
superconducting
- The plastic is described as an inexpensive material that could be widely used in, for example, quantum computing devices and superconducting electronics.
- In order to study these superconducting substances, then, a low-temperature physicist is needed.
- The apparatus that accomplished this consisted of a cooled and magnetically suspended ring of superconducting ceramic material.
superconductive
- The present invention discloses an integrated circuit that is wired with a high-temperature superconductive material that is superconductive at temperatures of about 70° K and above, and methods of making the integrated circuit.
- However, recent advances in superconducting technology and materials permit superconductive properties to exist at temperatures higher than 120 kelvin.
- If further studies of the new compound's properties confirm it as a member of this class, they may also shed light on the electron-pairing mechanism that renders these materials superconductive, he adds.
