Instrumentation for the Materials Genome Approach to the Search for Superconductivity

Abstract

The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) is an effort to speed the discovery, development, and deployment of advanced materials for human welfare, energy, and national security needs. Superconductors constitute a crucial subset of advanced materials whose deployment would have broad societal impacts. With numerous widespread benefits directly derived from the development of advanced and practical superconducting materials (i.e., energy delivery and storage applications, high-speed electronics, public and industrial transportation, and medical imaging), it is imperative that support structures continue to foster the exploration and development of new superconducting materials. Therefore, the University of Maryland (UMD) team has augmented their current synthesis program with an MGI approach to accelerate the discovery of new superconductors.
