Discovery of New Superconductors
Abstract
In this project we used a novel strategy for an enlightened search for new superconducting materials. We used a broad range of synthesis methods together with highly sensitive and selective screening techniques. Materials synthesis was accomplished by natural, extraterrestrial, high pressure/temperature, phase spread alloys and conventional methods. The screening was mostly done using Magnetic Field Microwave Spectroscopy (MFMMS). Use of this technique allowed us to quickly discard large amounts of non-superconducting materials and thus focusing the effort on the interesting materials. This provided a proven, rational methodology for the search for new superconductors.
