The Meissner effect says that a superconducting metal will try to expel magnetic field lines from its interior.
2.
From 1990 to 1994 he taught statistical physics, the theory of normal and superconducting metals, classical and quantum mechanics.
3.
This results in two overlapping layers of the superconducting metal, in between which a thin layer of insulator ( normally aluminum oxide ) is deposited.
4.
A Josephson junction is a tunnel junction, made of two pieces of superconducting metal separated by a very thin insulating barrier, about 1 nm in thickness.
5.
Earlier high-pressure experiments transformed oxygen into a ruby red metal, and some theorists have predicted that hydrogen would become a solid room-temperature superconducting metal at high enough pressures.
6.
An example with long-range logarithmic interactions is provided by the Abrikosov vortices which would form at low temperatures in a superconducting metal shell with a large monopole at the center.
7.
If a high-pressure phase of an element is shown to be a superconducting metal, at a few kelvins, does that guarantee that above the T c it is still a metal, or could it go straight to being something else without a change in structure?
