> In conclusion, we successfully synthesized the compound Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O, and observed the zero resistance above 100 K. However, the Meissner effect has not been observed yet in our samples, which suggests that the superconducting volume is relatively low.
In conclusion, ... nothing?
- ayakang31415 3y agoIt's definitely something, rather big something, to observe zero resistance above 100k
- awwkaw 3y agoNot compared to the claim of zero restance up to 400 K. But with how difficult the samples production seems to be, maybe we will get 400 K superconductors still
- DistractionRect 3y agoIt's likely that impurities in the bulk of the sample are why we aren't seeing the Meissner effect. Seeing super conductivity though is extremely promising. We've seen a sample be super conductors at 110k ambient pressure, diamagnetism, and (unconfirmed) flux pinning. So it's likely there's something here, but right now the main hurdle is synthesis. It's difficult to make and there's no clear path to consistency, purity or scale.
