Hi Guys, Please give me an example or list of Metallic superconductors (new metallic superconductors (year 2010-2014). thanks :).

ralden said:Thank you Nugatory for reminding that guidelines to me, by the way, f95toli I'm actually confused about "metallic superconductors", also about the types of superconductors: type 1 and type 2, I'm pretty sure that type 2 supercon are the ceramics type (but not all, some are metals), so please enlighten me about metallics superconductors,(are they the one with lower critical temp?, metallic bond? etc.) thank you very much.

mercury at -4.2C

niobium at -9.2C
Metallic superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled below a certain temperature, called the superconducting transition temperature. They are typically made of metals or metal alloys and are characterized by their ability to expel magnetic fields, known as the Meissner effect.
Metallic superconductors work by forming Cooper pairs, which are pairs of electrons that interact with each other in a way that allows them to move through the material without resistance. This phenomenon is known as superconductivity and is caused by the lattice vibrations of the material.
Metallic superconductors have a wide range of applications, including in MRI machines, particle accelerators, and high-speed trains. They are also used in sensitive electronic devices, such as quantum computers and sensors, due to their ability to carry electrical currents without any energy loss.
One of the main challenges in using metallic superconductors is the need for extremely low temperatures in order to maintain their superconducting state. This requires expensive and complex cooling systems. Another challenge is the brittleness of some metallic superconductors, which makes them difficult to work with and limits their potential applications.
Yes, there are several types of metallic superconductors, including conventional superconductors, such as niobium and lead, and unconventional superconductors, such as high-temperature superconductors and heavy fermion superconductors. Each type has unique properties and applications, and research is ongoing to discover new types of metallic superconductors.
