Magnetic Superconductor Vortex

Click For Summary

Small one-quantum magnetic vortices are observed in Type 1.5 and 2 superconductors, challenging the previous belief that they confine non-superconducting electrons. Recent experiments demonstrate that these vortices do not trap electrons as anticipated. Instead, they can move independently, resulting in speeds that are 10,000 times faster than expected due to their significantly lower mass. This finding alters the understanding of electron behavior in superconductors. The implications could lead to advancements in superconducting technologies.

Small one-quantum magnetic vorticies form in Type 1.5 and 2 superconductors. It was thought that such vorticies would confine the non-superconducting electrons inside them. This experiment shows that this is not the case. The vortex can move for the most part independently, therefore it moves 10,000 times faster than expected due to its much lower mass.

Thread 'The Power of QM and QFT'

We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
