Superconductivity

State of zero resistivity at low temperature, low current, low magnetic field.

Perfect diamagnetism: Complete repellence of external magnetic field.Application: levitation by applied external magnetic field.

• 1911: Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. Resistivity of mercury at 4K disappears. In 1913 he won Noble prize for his research in this area

• 1933. Walter Meissner and Robert Ochsenfeld discovered that a superconducting material will repel a magnetic field.

- A magnet moving by a conductor induces currents in the conductor. This is the principle upon which the electric generator operates. But, in a superconductor the induced currents exactly mirror the field that would have otherwise penetrated the superconducting material - causing the magnet to be repulsed. This phenomenon is known as diamagnetism and is today often referred to as the "Meissner effect".

History of Superconductor History of Superconductor (continued)

1941: niobium-nitride was found to superconduct at 16 K.

1953: vanadium-silicon displayed superconductive properties at 17.5 K.

1957: The first widely-accepted theoretical understanding of superconductivity was advanced in by American physicists John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and John Schrieffer (below). Their Theories of Superconductivity became know as the BCS theory - derived from the first letter of each man's last name - and won them a Nobel prize in 1972.

1962: scientists at Westinghouse developed the first commercial superconducting wire, an alloy of niobium and titanium.

1986: A truly breakthrough discovery: Alex Müller and Georg Bednorz(below), researchers at the IBM Research Laboratory in Switzerland, created a brittle ceramic compound (Lanthanum, Barium, Copper and Oxygen compound) that superconducted at the highest temperature then known: 30 K.

1993: Prof. Dr. Ulker Onbasli at the University of Colorado discover the current system of ceramic superconductors with the highest transition temperatures are the mercuric-cuprates.

A. Schilling, M. Cantoni, J. D. Guo, and H. R. Ott of Zurich, Switzerland hold the world record Tc of 138 K. It is a thallium-doped, mercuric-cupratecomprised of the elements Mercury, Thallium, Barium, Calcium, Copper and Oxygen.

Figure 8.45: Left: A magnet over a superconductor becomes levitated.The superconductor is a perfect diamagnet which means that there canbe no magnetic field inside the superconductor.Right: Photograph of a magnet levitating above a superconductorimmersed in liquid nitrogen (77 K).

Kasap (© McGraw-Hill, 2002)http://Materials.Usask.Ca

Why repulsion? Magnetic field is partly excluded from the superconductor. Hence, the same repulsion as between a magnet and a diamagnetic.

Why attraction? The magnetic flux lines that managed to penetrate the superconductor get pinned (trapped) there by microscopic inhomogeneities. When the magnet is lifted up, the superconductor holds its magnetic lines and follows the magnet. How to help magnetic lines penetrate the superconductor? Place the superconductor close to the magnet already at high temperature (movie 2) or push the magnet hard towards the supercondictors (movie 3).

Movie1: Levitation in action

A superconductor is immersed in liquid nitrogen to provide cooling below the critical temperature. A magnet is placed in the air above the superconductor and left there levitating. Nothing but magnetic interaction keeps the magnet from falling down.

Reference: http://www.fys.uio.no/super/levitation/

Movie2: Lifting superconductor without touching it

At room temperature magnetic field lines from the magnet penetrate the superconductor without restraint. After cooling by liquid nitrogen they get trapped by microscopic inhomogeneities in the superconductor. The trapped magnetic lines then serve as invisible threads holding the two objects together at a certain distance.

Reference: http://www.fys.uio.no/super/levitation/

Movie3: Smooth landing during warming up

When the superconductor is taken out of the liquid nitrogen, its temperature slowly starts increasing. As a result, the superconducting properties weaken, and the levitation force gradually gives way to the gravity.

Uses of superconductors

• Magnetic levitation (Maglev):

The Yamanashi MLX01 MagLev train opened in 1990. The newestversion attain the world record speed of 531 km/h (approximately thesame speed as of a commercial airplane)

However, bio-hazard possibility of very high magnetic field and high cost discourage commercialization.

Reference: http://www.rtri.or.jp/rd/maglev/

Uses of superconductors

• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

By impinging a strong superconductor-derived magnetic field into the body, hydrogen atoms that exist in the body's water and fat molecules are forced to accept energy from the magnetic field. They then release this energy at a frequency that can be detected anddisplayed graphically by a computer.

Semiconductivity

Conductivity:

Intrinsic Semiconductor: concentration of charge carrier depends of amount of availability of thermal energy for excitation of electrons to become conduction electrons. Hence, the higher is the temperature, the higher is the conductivity.

n is number of conducting speciesµ is mobility of the conducting species

Band gap (gap between valence band and conduction band) is characteristic of each kind of element or compound.

The smaller the band gap, the higher the conductivity.

Compound which exhibit semiconductivity:Transition metal oxides: Mixed valency semiconductor.Ex: NiO has low conductivity. Upon oxidizing in air at 800oC, it

becomes Ni1-XO. Conductivity is due to electron transfer between Ni2+ and Ni3+. Disadvantage: difficult to control the degree of oxidation (amount of Ni3+ in the system); therefore conductivity is not predictable.

One method to control amount of Ni3+ is by addition of Li+ as following

Applications: pn junction, transistor, etc.

Flow of electrons is possible when applying negative potential at n-type side.Flow of electrons in the opposite direction is not possible.This works as rectifier.

Conductivity1. Electronic Conductivity: charge carriers are electrons (or holes).

found in metals, superconductors, semiconductor.2. Ionic Conductivity: charge carriers are ions in the system.

found in liquid electrolyte, solid electrolyte.

Conduction by ions: This occurs when ions have enough thermal energy to escape from their sites, and move to adjacent lattice sites. Therefore, high temperature, at which thermal energy is high, and number of defect (vacancy) is also high.

Ex: NaCl at 800oC: σ = 10-3 (ohm-m)-1

at 25oC: σ = 10-12 (ohm-m)-1
