Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the properties and applications of superconductivity, with the original poster seeking information for an assignment. They express urgency in finding comprehensive resources that detail the various properties of superconductors.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants suggest various online resources, including Wikipedia and specific websites, to help the original poster gather information. There is a focus on identifying the eight properties of superconductivity mentioned by the original poster, with some participants discussing the adequacy of the resources available.

Discussion Status

Multiple suggestions for resources have been provided, but the original poster indicates that they have not found satisfactory explanations for all eight properties. The conversation reflects a mix of guidance and exploration of available information, with no clear consensus on a single resource that meets the original poster's needs.

Contextual Notes

The original poster has already consulted Wikipedia and other suggested websites but feels that the information is insufficient for their assignment. They specifically mention the need for explanations and diagrams related to the eight properties of superconductivity.

answer me this is urgent..

can you tell me the general properties of superconductivity and applications of superconductivity?

if any websites are there,please tell me the sites i will search,i have gone through google but i couldn't get the answer.if anybody pls send it as a link...please it is urgent because i got to submit my assignment.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Just go to wikipedia.org and do a search on superconductor. That should get you started, as well as provide you with further links for more detailed research.

Has Zz gone on a vacation or something? :biggrin: :wink:

Seriously, it would actually be better for her to google "superconductor" than wiki it.

I know, but for basic stuff, wikipedia isn't too bad. And for a newbie to sift through the google hits to get a good overview is sometimes a bit of a challenge. Maybe I should start using hyperphysics more -- I haven't used them much.

In this case, the first hit is probably just what the OP wanted: http://superconductors.org

HP is a bit terse, but it's a good reference if you know the basics.

Wow, great website! I like the little flashing neon sign for "Highest Tc Claim = 150K" :biggrin:

Although I saw that flashing number, I assumed it to be one of those Weather Underground thingies. :redface:
 
thankyou for the replies but i have already gone through wikipedia but i could get only 3 properties but actually there are 8 properties...
please if anybody can help me for the explanation...the 8 properties are
(1)the critical field (2)the critical current density (3)meissner effect or perfect diamagnetism (4)type I and type II suprconductors (5)penetration depth (6) flux quantization (7)josephson effect and tunneling and (8)energy gap.
if you know in which website these properties explanation is available with diagrams please reply me...and if u can explain about any of the property above please do that...

You did see neutrino's post about this great website, right? http://superconductors.org

i have already been to that website but there are only journals and some books about superconductivity which are high level for me for now coz..we are not into the deep
