Superconductor materials topics at Texas Materials Institute
The discovery of high temperature superconductivity with copper oxide compounds in 1986 resulted in a large amount of scientific research worldwide. During the years since the initial discovery, University of Texas scientists have played a central role in the development of the existing science base in this area. Associated with the TMI are a number of the world's leaders in the area of superconductor research. The processing of reliable, reproducible, and durable superconductor devices and conductors in a cost-effective manner from complicated oxide superconductors represents an essential and difficult problem for materials researchers. Some of the TMI efforts in the area of superconductor research are highlighted below.
Development of a reliable materials base
The poor material properties associated with these brittle and reactive ceramic compounds have encouraged scientists to continue to search for alternative superconductor materials as well as to find chemically benign processing methods. Careful studies of the structure/reactivity characteristics of cuprate compounds have been completed recently by TMI scientists. Studies focusing on the mechanism of decomposition of high-T c samples have revealed strong coupling between water reactivity, copper redox chemistry and oxide/oxygen evolution/uptake. This new mechanistic knowledge has led TMI faculty to the development of a new materials base that is suitable for the preparation of devices and conductors that exhibit enhanced performance characteristics.

Magneto-Optical Imaging of Superconductors
To be able to see magnetism directly with your eyes has been a very old dream. In a way magneto-optical imaging is the realization of that dream: you stick your sample under the microscope, put a piece of a magic crystal on top of it, and can through the ocular follow the sample's magnetic behaviour in real-time

    Fundamentals of magneto-optical imaging
    Physical principles
    The physical idea behind the magneto-optical imaging is the Faraday effect , i.e., rotation of the light polarization induced by magnetic field. On 13 September, 1845, Michael Faraday wrote in his Diary "...magnetic force and light were proved to have relation to each other. This fact will most likely prove exceedingly fertile and of great value in the investigation of both conditions of natural force"
    Magneto-optical films

A Historical Introduction to Superconductivity and Magnetism
The Early Years of Superconductivity In the early years of superconductivity, progress to application was slow an intermittent. On the 10 th of July 1908, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes , Professor of Experimental Physics at the University of Leiden Gilles Holst (who had been an assistant at Leiden for two years and would later become the first director of the Philips Research Laboratories ) measured a sudden and massive drop in the electrical resistance. As best as they could measure, in just a few hundredths of a degree the resistance dropped to less than one millionth of the melting point value, and eventually to a thousand millionth of it. In 1912 Onnes termed the new electrical state that the mercury had entered below 4 K, the superconductive state. Having worked so hard to purify the mercury he was further surprised to find that adding gold and cadmium to the mercury did not stop it from entering the superconducting state. He also observed that very high currents could be passed though the mercury until a threshold current density was reached (as high as 1000 A/mm

Roughly speaking, the red and green surfaces are derived from the two CuO layers (bonding and antibonding combinations), the pink surfaces arise from the CuO chains, and the smaller blue cylinders contain both layer and chain character.
Recent work in the Center is again emphasizing electron-phonon mediated superconductivity, especially in novel materials such as MgB and borocarbides. This results in new understanding of the materials, for example, the prediction of two-gap superconductivity in MgB , as well as suggestions for improved materials, for example, the prediction of still higher critical temperatures in the as yet unsynthesized compound, CuB 2-x C x near x=0.5. The Center also has a significant effort investigating materials with both magnetism and superconductivity, particularly unconventional triplet superconductivity mediated by spin fluctuations, as in Sr RuO and materials near ferromagnetic quantum critical points.

Description
The discovery of high temperature superconductivity has not only opened many possibilities for potential technical applications, but has also provided a unique, challenging research subject for condensed matter physics and material sciences. High temperature superconductivity appears in systems with strong electron correlation and constitutes one of the key issues in condensed matter physics. The understanding of its mechanism will therefore greatly promote the future developments of this branch of science.
During the last ten years great progress has been made in both fundamental and application-oriented research. Expanding knowledge of the physical properties in the superconducting as well as the normal state in preparing the way to an understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The accumulated experience in materials processing enables technical applications. All these aspects of high-

New Types of Superconductors
Organic superconductor with the highest T c k-(ET) Cu[N(CN) ]Cl Scientific Impact: These advances will help scientists develop a theory of how organic superconductors work and contribute to the design of new materials with higher transition temperatures. The all-organic material is ideal for studies of magnetic and charge transport properties because there is no possibility of contamination from metallic impurities. Social Impact: Superconductivity already has important applications, such as medical diagnostic equipment, and many more uses are possible if transition temperatures are high enough. The availability of purely organic superconductors greatly expands the possibilities, especially for applications in which weight is a factor.

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics is awarded to three physicists who have made decisive contributions concerning two phenomena in quantum physics: superconductivity and superfluidity. Superconducting material is used, for example, in magnetic resonance imaging for medical examinations and particle accelerators in physics. Knowledge about superfluid liquids can give us deeper insight into the ways in which matter behaves in its lowest and most ordered state. At low temperatures (a few degrees above absolute zero) certain metals allow an electric current to pass without resistance. Such superconducting materials also have the property of being able to displace magnetic flows completely or partly. Those that displace magnetic flows completely are called type-I superconductors and a theory explaining them was awarded the

... Persons working on the topic This high critical temperature superconductor, YBa Cu O 6+x is studied in the laboratory along with a number of other oxide superconductors. The CuO planes, in grey, are responsible for most of the exotic properties of these materials: an order parameter with “d-wave” symmetry, anomalous metallic behaviour, vortices, etc. Measurements and theory concern magnetic, transport and structural properties, not only of the superconducting state but also of normal and mixed states. Non magnetic impurities produce unexpected effects, in the normal metal state of a high critical temperature superconductor. When a zinc or lithium atom is substituted to copper in the CuO planes, it induces magnetic moments in its vicinity (left). The magnetism of the planes is thus affected in an alternate way, reminiscent of the RKKY effect in metals, or Friedel's oscillations (right). This effect is quite unexpected, since zinc or lithium in a metal do not yield magnetic effects. By the way, the shape of the alternate polarisation differs from that of a metal. One can detect the induced magnetic moments by using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, which is sensitive to the long-distance effect of these moments. The metallic phase of high-

Behavior Of Superconductors
By Lucinda Weiss Barrett Wells has a favorite experiment that he performs right at his desk for visitors. He takes a piece of superconductive material about the size of two quarters stacked together, places it in a Styrofoam dish, pours liquid nitrogen on it to chill it, and then, with tweezers, places a tiny, 1/8-inch square magnet above it. The magnet levitates, spinning in the air just above the superconductor, which will repel any pole the little magnet presents. Barrett Wells, assistant professor of physics, works with Feizhou He, a physics graduate student, using the Pulsed Laser Deposition machine, equipment for studying and analyzing the activity of superconductors.

Magnetic glue found in superconductors
02 June 2004 A breakthrough has been made by a team of scientists, led by Professor Stephen Hayden from the University of Bristol, in understanding how high temperature superconductors work. Their results, announced today in Nature High temperature superconductors are ceramic materials that can conduct electricity across huge distances without losing any energy. They are relatively cheap to make and have enormous potential in many areas of technology, but there is still controversy over what actually causes the superconductivity. "Our results suggest that the glue may be due to the very weak magnetism of the electrons in the copper atoms of the superconductor."
