I wonder if the forced phase-change the confinement causes applies to other contexts? Could we use a similar trick to force superconductive materials into their low-temperature superconductive phase at higher temperatures?
- bskdjx 10y agoYes, somehow. What they technically did is raise the chemical potential, mu, of the gas phase (the phase with the lowest mu wins). TL/DR, but I'm not too impressed from a theoretical POV. The problem to replicate this is "what do you do to raise the mu of the non super-conducting phase?". That's not trivial as many things raise the mu of the super conducting phase instead, like applied magnetic fields.
