Superconductivity potential applications

In contrast, within (p-EPYNN)[Ni(dmit)2], first synthesized in 1996 [79], it has been proven that spin-ladder chains of the Ni(dmit)2 moiety coexist with the ferromagnetic one-dimensional chain of the p-EPYNN radical cation. Spin-ladders are of interest because of their potential applications in the area of quantum magnets and because it has been predicted that holes doped into even-leg ladders may pair and possibly superconduct [90-92]. 

Potential applications of superconducting cuprates in electronics and other technologies are commonly known. These cuprates also exhibit significant catalytic activity. Thus, YBa2Cu307 3 and related cuprates act as catalysts in oxidation or dehydrogenation reactions (Hansen et al. 1988 Halasz 1989 Mizuno et al. 1988). Carbon monoxide and alcohol are readily oxidized over the cuprates. NH3 is oxidized to N2 and H20 on these surfaces. Ammoxidation of toluene to benzonitrile has been found to occur on YBa2Cu307 (Hansen et al. 1990). 

And Don Gubser of the Naval Research Laboratory boasts shamelessly of the navy s strong historical and continued interest in superconductivity. If you want to talk about an agency that has full breadth of potential applications, intent, and support for superconductivity, you won t top the navy. NASA gives us money just to teach them to make the materials. ... 

Yet, recently there has been a renewed interest in rail alternatives—high-speed ones, of course, in keeping with the national preference. More specifically, the focus has centered on fast trains that would take advantage of developments in superconductivity and give us one of the most spectacular of all of its potential applications magnetically levitated trains, maglevs, that would literally fly between... 

Applications. The advantage of high-7 superconductors is that superconductivity is achieved at temperatures above 77 K where liquid nitrogen can be used as a coolant. However, for many potential applications. 

Potential applications of superconductors are based on the properties that these materials present (i) zero resistance below Tc, (ii) Josephson effect, (iii) Meissner effect, and (iv) superconducting magnets. 

The topics appearing in the book range from new synthesis routes to physical-chemical characterizations. They address important properties of these materials, including morphology, structure, thermal stability, superconductivity, magnetism, spectroscopic and optical behaviour. Detailed ab initio investigations and simulations provide a comparison with experimental results, and potential applications of the final products are also proposed.
