superconductor Usage Examples
Converse of object
- include: Materials grown and studied include superconductors, high index dielectrics, magnetic films, and metallic coatings.
- use: The latter can be improved at the expense of bandwidth by using superconductors.
- become: But if you add charge carriers by chemically doping them they become superconductors with transition temperatures of up to 135K.
- discover: The topic is of cutting edge importance with the race on to discover a room temperature superconductor.
Adjective modifier
- cuprate: The first is a study of the temperature dependences of magnetotransport quantities in the normal state of the cuprate high-temperature superconductors.
- ceramic: Wonder if anyone's tried replicating the thing using ceramic superconductors and then cooling the thing off with liquid nitrogen to see what happens.
- conventional: This is qualitatively different from conventional low temperature superconductors.
- organic: Topical areas covered by this virtual journal include experimental and theoretical study of new materials, new cuprates, and organic superconductors.
- high: In order to recover the signal lost by using a low magnetic field a receive coil made from high temperature superconductor will be used.
- other: Studies of vortices in other superconductors indicate that they can form a sort of " lattice " configuration.
Modifies a noun
- cable: Initial VLI superconductor cable projects now underway provide an opportunity to develop a reliability record and resolve system integration and other implementation issues.
- material: An additional feature is that much higher currents can flow through some superconductor materials than through normal metal wires.
Noun used with modifier
- high-temperature: Thus magnetic fields can now be surveyed in thin film samples of high-temperature superconductors.
- temperature: In order to recover the signal lost by using a low magnetic field a receive coil made from high temperature superconductor will be used.

- low-temperature: An " isotope shift " of this type has been observed in many low-temperature metal superconductors.
- cuprate: The high temperature or cuprate superconductors like the one pictured here were first discovered in 1986.
- film: There is one large EPSRC grant which covers work on thin films superconductors, this is called the portfolio award.
