The Map of Superconductivity

The Map of Superconductivity poster is available here: store.dftba.com/collections/d...
Superconductivity is a fascinating property exhibited by many materials when they are cooled down to cryogenic temperatures to below a certain transition temperature. Below this temperature they lose all of their electrical resistance and they are able to conduct electricity with zero loss of energy. They also exhibit interesting magnetic effects including the total expulsion of magnetic fields from their interior due to superconducting eddy currents.
In this video I look at the different kinds of superconductors like type-I and type-II superconductors, and high temperature superconductivity, the theory behind them: Ginzberg-Lanadu theory and BCS theory,, and the applications of them in the real world which include superconducting magnets for MRI machines and particle accelerators, quantum devices like josephson junctions and S.Q.U.I.Ds for uses like quantum computing.

I just defended my dissertation on Fe-based superconductors, and I found this video incredibly useful. Understanding things on a deep technical level is completely different than being able to understand it in simple terms and communicate it easily to a general audience. Like Einstein said, if you can't explain something simply, you don't understand it well enough.

[@ytcomments8524]

@@gregoryb9313 Read, read (reviews, good books, old papers and books, not just new material rediscovering 100-year-old information), and get a post doc level tutor/sponsor. Learn math, physics, chemistry, electronics and programming. Do not waste your time if something can be automated. Learn to use as many instruments, methods and techniques as you can. Don't limit yourself to "how thing are always done". Hang out with people from your field and outside your department. Discuss. Publish not only your discoveries (for that good fame and cash flow), but also how you failed so that some one out there may not fail like you did or just finds a solution to your issue. Have fun while it lasts. There is a narrow and steep road ahead in science.

Nice map and I enjoy your videos. I would like to mention an additional and interesting technology made possible by superconductors. Superconductors can be used to detect light on the single photon level with great precision. These superconducting nanowire single photon detectors SNSPD work by breaking down the superconduction of a wire when a photon impinges on a superconducting wire. They are around since the early 2000s and are used in the field of quantum optics. Currently the SNSPDs are setting the gold standard for single photon detection and can achieve a near unity detection efficiency.

[@frederikthiele6715]

@@alwaysdisputin9930 Not quite, the energy of a photon is big enough to break apart Cooper pairs. Once you Setup a hot spot with a normal resistive spot heating will kick in and the entire wire becomes resistive. The resistance can be easily read out. The layout of the super conductor line is critical to get it working. www.researchgate.net/profile/Chandra-Natarajan-2/publication/224836704_Superconducting_nanowire_single-photon_detectors_Physics_and_applications/links/00b49533b7632e3570000000/Superconducting-nanowire-single-photon-detectors-Physics-and-applications.pdf?origin=publication_detail

[@evanhansen1317]

Masterful job. I agree with your earlier assessment that its not always necessary to show the kill, but occasionally it drives home the point that wilderness living is bloody at times and food/hide procurement means killing. People need to see it done with a professional dispassion in order to to realize that there is nothing cruel about it, its just a part of the cycle of life. A predator killing prey is much messier and less humane than is a hunter dispatch, but both are thankful for what nature has provided.
