Research abstract
A NOVEL CLASS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS, OXYGENATED CU PHTHALOCYANINES, IS PREPARED WHICH HAS GOOD MATCH BETWEEN CU AND OXYGEN ENERGY LEVELS AS IN EXTANT HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS AS WELL AS FIRM PINNING OF MAGNETIC FLUX DUE TO A HIGH DENSITY OF DEFECTS. THESE TWO PROPERTIES YIELD HIGH TEMPERATURE COMBINED WITH HIGH CURENT DENSITIES ABSENT IN EXTANT MATERIALS. SYNTHETIC WORK IS BASED ON PRIOR SUCCESSFUL SYNTHESES OF WELL CHARACTERIZED OXYGENATED CO PHTHALOCYANINES. APPLICATIONS INCLUDE POWER GENERATION, FASTER COMPUTERS AND MAGNETIC LEVITATION.
