Growing superconducting nanocables.(Superconductors)
Advanced Ceramics Report, September, 2004
A researcher at the University of Southern California (USC), USA, has developed a technique to manufacture nano-sized superconducting cables made of a metal oxide coated with transition metal oxides (TMOs).
Specifically, Dr Chongwu Zhou, an assistant professor in the USC Viterbi School of Engineering's Department of Electrical Engineering, is creating dense arrays of ultra-fine wires made of magnesia (MgO) coated with uniform layers of TMO.
In the last decade, TMOs have come under intense investigation because they demonstrate a wide range of potentially useful properties, including high-temperature superconductivity.
However, it has proved very difficult to create practical high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires incorporating TMOs....
