The Physics of superconductors

Күн бұрын

How a superconductor works. Everything from the physics and some of the history as well. Superconductors were discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was discovered because it was made possible to liquefy helium which produced temperatures down to 2-4 kelvin.
It was then discovered the resistance drops to 0 after the critical temperature. It is explained by BCS theory, how two electrons goes from fermions and bonds into a boson.
This theory can be used to leviates trains or everything. Explained by the meissner effect. This video only cover type 1 and not type 2 superconductors.

Great video. Thank you for the work you put into your simulations, it makes everything so much easier to understand. In my biology class, we were talking about diffusion of water across a membrane. The teacher asked if the molecules would simply stop moving once equilibrium is reached, and I answered "no" because I remembered one of the simulations from your entropy video. The particles keep moving back and forth, and the multiplicity still stays the same. Thanks!

A few remarks: - The most used superconductors, NbTi and Nb3Sn, are both type 2 superconductors but are also explained by BCS theory. BCS doesn't work for the high-temperature superconductors (HTS), like the ReBCO and BSCCO compounds. - We know, phenomenologically at least, quite a bit about how type 2 SCs work. - The Meisner effect, which you describe when talking about floating, is far too weak in most situations to make something float. You need flux vortex pinning in type 2 SCs. - The flux vortices don't expel the magnetic field, they let it through, one flux quantum per vortex. Because it costs energy to move these vortices, the material tends to keep its position and hence can float - Type 1 superconductors are almost useless in practice Still, your explanation of what is simply is, the history, and especially the explanation of BCS is very nice

@gwho Жыл бұрын

A good curation of internet material is far superior than any university course if the material out there exists, and isn't cutting edge info that only the researchers themselves have. But professors rarely ever teach a class on their cutting edge material anyway.

@anthonybowman3423 11 ай бұрын

@@gwho Kinda. The advantage of courses is feedback. If anything unclear you can often ask and get a direct answer way more easily than with the internet. Perhaps more importantly you get various knowledge checks so you can get feedback on things you didn't know you didn't understand. Though admittedly there is a lot of great stuff out there that can be more engaging or explain things better than some course can do in person. So there are pros and cons.

wait, what ? So, the resistance is ABSOLUTELY, PRECISELY, MATHEMATICALLY ZERO ? as in NULL ? OMG I mean I always assumed when they did the levitating superconductors thing the Eddy currents would eventually give way to gravity by bending eversoslightly and losing energy, but I guess that was just the temperature rising I mean I can't put into words just how INCREDIBLY NEAT that is Like, you would think that doing something like bouncing a lightbeam off of a spherical mirror would last forever, but it doesn't, and so many things in this universe bow down to entropy's clenching iron fist But the fact that you can have current going through a superconductor FOREVER just blew my mind

@Higgsinophysics 5 жыл бұрын

I exaggerated a bit because no matter what we measure there will always be some uncertainty in the measurements. So we don't know for sure that it is ABSOLUTELY, PRECISELY, MATHEMATICALLY ZERO :D But we know for sure the resistance is as good as zero, there was no intensity loss measured outside the uncertainty.. Also NULL is not zero it's nothing :p

@kapsi 3 ай бұрын

There's also "time crystals", which are little quantum "perpetual motion machines", going theoretically forever without losing energy and increasing entropy.

The SC-Maglev in Japan _does_ use superconductivity, but this is to be able to create extremely energy efficient magnets, because no resistance means no energy lost.
