superconductivity

How To Use superconductivity In A Sentence

• Such fields, however, do not wreck triplet superconductivity because the spins of both electrons may point in the same direction as the field.
• But according to Prassides, the superconductivity comes as a surprise because picene molecules arrange themselves in 2D planes much like graphite. Physicsworld.com: all content
• Similarly, superconductivity can be destroyed by applying a magnetic field that exceeds some critical value.
• These chemically complex materials can, in fact, provide more information about superconductivity and magnetism than supposedly simple materials.
• Superconductivity was discovered as early as 1911 by Kamerlingh-Onnes, who noticed that the electrical resistivity of mercury dropped to less than one billionth of its ordinary value when it was cooled well below a transition temperature of, which is about 4 K. The Nobel Prizes in Physics 1901-2000
• 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.
• In the 1960's, another development in superconductivity was initiated, by the Englishman Brian Josephson (who received the Press Release: The 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics
• In addition, superconductivity was not particularly well understood at the time, especially the effects that would cause a magnet to dramatically and suddenly lose its superconducting powers, a phenomenon known as a "quench" that is invariably accompanied by a loud bang and a scurry to find the exit as the magnetic energy is suddenly dissipated. Tevatron collider falls silent today after 26 years of smash hits
• Onnes coined the term superconductivity and showed that tin and lead, too, become superconducting at very low temperatures. Gates of Vienna
• However, they have revealed problems with existing theories of ferromagnetism and superconductivity that are likely to keep researchers busy for some time to come.
