Research abstract
THE RECENT DISCOVERY OF HIGH TEMPERATURE METAL OXIDE SUPERCONDUCTORS SUGGESTS THAT YET ANOTHER NEW CLASS OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIALS MAY BE FOUND. THE NEW CATEGORY OF MATERIALS WILL BE INEXPENSIVE TO MANUFACTURE AND EASILY FORMED INTO WIRES AND BANDS. THESE MATERIALS WILL BE MECHANICALLY TOUGH AND MAY HAVE HIGH CRITICAL TEMPERATURES. THE PHASE I GOAL IS TO ESTABLISH THE SUPERCONDUCTING CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPECIFIC MATERIAL WITHIN THE NEW CLASS. AFTER THE SUPERCONDUCTING PROPERTIES ARE FIRMLY ESTABLISHED A SPECIMEN WHICH IS SEVERAL METERS LONG WILL BE PRODUCED I PHASE II.
