To synthesize a new superconductor which has a critical temperature, Tc, exceeding the room temperature, one needs to know what chemical components to start with. This chapter presents analysis of experimental data which allow one to draw a conclusion about components and the structure of a potential room-temperature superconductor. The two essential components of a roomtemperature superconduct...

– An extreme type II superconductor with internal insulating regions, namely cavities, is studied here. We find that the cavity-bearing superconductor has lower energy than the defectfree superconductor above a critical magnetic induction B∗ for insulating cavities but not for metallic ones. Using a numerical approach for the Ginzburg-Landau theory we compute and compare free energy densities f...

most popular sources for electromagnetic waves. however, there are many concerns regarding their biological effects on the body, especially the central nervous system. therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cell phone radiation on histology of the cerebellar granular cells in the neonatal rat. materials and methods: we selected some wistar rats. then, we randomly divide...

We analyze the charge transport between a one-dimensional weakly interacting electron gas and a superconductor within the scaling approach in the basis of scattering states. We derive the renormalization group equations, which fully account for the intrinsic energy dependence due to Andreev reflection. A strong renormalization of the corresponding reflection phase is predicted even for a perfec...

an improved chemical regeneration of the granular activated carbon (gac) exhausted by the color (pigments and pollutants) from citric acid fermentation solution (caf) was investigated. in the experiments, improved means were adopted to advance the traditional chemical regenerating method and the adsorption capacity of the first time renewed gac is 103% of original gac. using oxidant and surfact...

in present research, 17 centrifuge tests have been conducted to study the effect of various parameters such as the number of piles, the distance between piles, gradation and thickness of the granular layer on the load-settlement behavior of a pile raft system. the results showed the importance of granular layer to reduce the settlement of non-connected pile raft system when the roles of piles a...

superconductor fault current limiter (sfcl) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. this paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  appropriate location and type of the limiters in a hv substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. study system is simulated by...

Electronic evolution from an antiferromagnetic insulator to a high-Tc superconductor is revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments on tetragonal Ca2 xNaxCuO2Cl2 single crystals, which were grown for the first time under high pressures (6 5.5 GPa). In an underdoped superconductor (x 1⁄4 0:1), we found clear fingerprints of the parent magnetic insulator: a shadow band and a...
