It was discovered by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. Like ferromagnetism and atomic spectral lines , superconductivity is a quantum mechanical phenomenon. It is also characterized by a phenomenon called the Meissner effect , the ejection of any sufficiently weak magnetic field from the interior of the superconductor as it transitions into the superconducting state. The occurrence of the Meissner effect indicates that superconductivity cannot be understood simply as the idealization of " perfect conductivity " in classical physics The electrical resistivity of a metallic conductor decreases gradually as the temperature is lowered. However, in ordinary

   Extractions: Superconductivity, the property that certain materials have of losing all resistance to an electric current. Such a material loses its electrical resistance when cooled below a temperature called the material's critical (or transition) temperature. Many pure metals and alloys are superconducting, but only at temperatures near absolute zero (0 K, or -273.15° C. [-459.67° F.]). Some niobium alloys have critical temperatures near 20 K (-253° C.). Several synthetic copper-oxide materials have higher critical temperatures; one such material, containing thallium, has a critical temperature near 125 K (-158° C.). The most important use of superconducting materials, or superconductors, is for making powerful electromagnets. A common practical application of such magnets is in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices, used for medical diagnosis. The operation of various types of research equipment also depends on superconducting magnets. The Tevatron, a powerful particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, uses hundreds of such magnets for its operation. Superconducting magnets are usually made of niobium alloys that can carry a very strong electric current without losing their superconductivity. Although the electromagnets must be cooled with liquid helium, requiring complex cooling apparatus, they consume much less electrical power than comparable conventional electromagnets.

    Extractions: Superconductivity is infinitely more than a physics phenomena of the first order. It may be one of the fundamental linking mechanisms in an unlimited and connected universe. The physics is referenced, for example, in the Scientific References , but for those looking for a quick and dirty explanation, the following will provide an inkling of the immensity of the subject. Just keep in mind that any U. S. patent application which includes anywhere in its text the word “superconductivity” is automatically sent to the Department of Defense for review. That should be convincing evidence that this subject is worth investigating. Most, but not all, conductors of electrical current, when cooled sufficiently in the direction of absolute zero (0 o K, -273.15 o C), become superconductors. The superconducting state itself is one in which there is zero electrical resistance and perfect diamagnetism. [1] This means that current flowing through a superconducting circuit does not experience i R heating (current squared times the resistance), and the current can flow indefinitely. Also, diamagnetism is the property of a substance to become magnetized in a direction at right angles to an applied magnetic field (Michael Faraday discovered the effect in 1846 that when such substances were brought near the pole of a strong magnet, they were

He immediately predicted many uses for superconductors. Your task (as a group) is to investigate superconductivity, the history of its discovery and the theory used to explain the phenomenon of superconductivity. You will then need to look at the issue of whether superconductivity is a new state of matter. In this WebQuest you will be working together with a group of students in class. Each group will answer the Task or Quest(ion). As a member of the group you will explore Webpages from people all over the world who are involved with Superconductivity.

When a magnet is placed above the pellet, it is levitated by the superconductor. _Play movie (28 seconds, 1.7 MB) A magnet placed on the pellet that is above the superconductivity transition temperature does not float. Cooling the pellet through the phase change again levitates the magnet. _Play movie (25 seconds, 1.5 MB) The magnet can be spun, showing the dynamic response of the magnetic field expulsion. Here plastic tweezers are used to spin the magnet. When cooled below a "critical" temperature, some substances lose all resistance to the flow of electrical current, becoming superconductors. A current induced in a superconducting material can flow forever, providing that the temperature remains below the critical temperature. Another property of a superconductor is its interaction with a magnetic field. A magnet induces a current in the superconductor, creating a magnetic field that repels the field of the magnet. This repulsive interaction is responsible for the levitation observed in the demonstration.

    Extractions: Nuclear Power Videos Superconductivity is a phenomenon observed in several metals and ceramic materials. When these materials are cooled to temperatures ranging from near absolute zero (-459 degrees Fahrenheit, degrees Kelvin, -273 degrees Celsius) to liquid nitrogen temperatures (-321 F, 77 K, -196 C), they have no electrical resistance. The temperature at which electrical resistance is zero is called the critical temperature T c ) and varies with the individual material. For practical purposes, critical temperatures are achieved by cooling materials with either liquid helium or liquid nitrogen. The following table shows the critical temperatures of various superconductors: Material Type T c (K) Zinc metal Aluminum metal Tin metal Mercury metal YBa Cu O ceramic TlBaCaCuO ceramic Because these materials have no electrical resistance, meaning electrons can travel through them freely, they can carry large amounts of electrical current for long periods of time without losing energy as heat. Superconducting loops of wire have been shown to carry electrical currents for several years with no measurable loss. This property has implications for

    Extractions: Major advances in low-temperature refrigeration were made during the late 19th century. Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by the Dutch physicist,Heike Kammerlingh Onnes. Onnes dedicated his scientific career to exploring extremely cold refrigeration. On July 10, 1908, he successfully liquified helium by cooling it to 452 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (4 Kelvin or 4 K). Onnes produced only a few milliliters of liquid helium that day, but this was to be the new beginnings of his explorations in temperature regions previously unreachable. Liquid helium enabled him to cool other materials closer to absolute zero (0 Kelvin), the coldest temperature imaginable. Absolute zero is the temperature at which the energy of material becomes as small as possible. In 1911, Onnes began to investigate the electrical properties of metals in extremely cold temperatures. It had been known for many years that the resistance of metals fell when cooled below room temperature, but it was not known what limiting value the resistance would approach, if the temperature were reduced to very close to K. Some scientists, such as William Kelvin, believed that electrons flowing through a conductor would come to a complete halt as the temperature approached absolute zero. Other scientists, including Onnes, felt that a cold wire's resistance would dissipate. This suggested that there would be a steady decrease in electrical resistance, allowing for better conduction of electricity. At some very low temperature point, scientists felt that there would be a leveling off as the resistance reached some ill-defined minimum value allowing the current to flow with little or no resistance.Onnes passed a current through a very pure mercury wire and measured its resistance as he steadily lowered the temperature. Much to his surprise there was no leveling off of resistance, let alone the stopping of electrons as suggested by Kelvin. At 4.2 K the resistance suddenly vanished. Current was flowing through the mercury wire and nothing was stopping it, the resistance was zero.
