Chapter 199 New ways to find superconductors

"This feeling is still very good."

After returning to his seat, Xu You recalled the process just now.

Being able to make others understand your theory is also a way to gain a sense of accomplishment.

Through the narration just now, Xu You also gained some new understanding of his own theory.

Qiao Sen nodded to Xu You, approving Xu You's performance just now.

As a professor of condensed matter physics, Qiao Sen understood very well what Xu You just said.

Although these contents only occupy a small part of Xu You's entire theory.

But Qiao Sen could also feel that Xu You's theory was indeed of extraordinary significance.

Faced with so many experienced professors below, Xu You was still able to explain calmly and calmly.

This kind of performance is indeed very rare.

Even Qiao Sen himself would find it difficult to reach this level.

In addition, Xu You also did a good job in controlling his posture.

It will neither appear arrogant nor inferior.

It can be described as "neither humble nor arrogant".

Then it was time, and several other professors came to the front one after another to explain some of their academic achievements.

Some professors' lectures are indeed very exciting, while others are boring.

But Xu Youdu gained a lot of new knowledge in the process of listening.

This kind of academic exchange lasted for some time.

Everyone has a certain understanding of Xu You's theory.

Xu You's knowledge of materials science has also been greatly improved.

After careful discussions, the project began to be planned.

The tasks that each professor needs to be responsible for are gradually completed.

Everyone will explore in various directions where new high-temperature superconductors may be discovered.

But Xu You was not limited to any particular direction.

Xu You has a unique idea for finding high-temperature superconductors.

After returning to his rental house, Xu You began to prepare for this idea.

Through exchanges with experts these days.

Xu You further understood the properties of various materials.

In this way, Xu You can better simulate various materials through software.

"If you can use software modeling to find superconductors, it will definitely be a more efficient way."

This idea may sound bizarre.

But in fact, when helping Xu You synthesize new metal atom clusters.

Software modeling plays an important role.

As long as a very high degree of simulation can be achieved.

Software simulation will have great practical significance.

These days, Xu You has gained a deeper understanding of his theory of high-temperature superconductors.

Through this set of theories, it can very well help Xu You in his software modeling work.

At the subject level of informatics, after reaching the level of a doctorate in informatics.

Xu You has also become more comfortable with software modeling work.

After a period of work.

Xu You has been able to predict the probability of a molecule being superconducting by inputting information such as the type of element, the number of each type of atom, and the way the atoms are combined.

If the superconducting probability of a molecule is extremely high, the superconducting critical temperature of the material can also be predicted.

Through verification, the overall prediction accuracy of Xu You's software modeling is relatively high.

After that, Xu You continued to expand the amount of data and corrected errors by comparing the actual information of various substances with the predicted information to further improve the software's prediction accuracy.

Seeing that the accuracy rate had reached over 99%, Xu You was very excited.

"Sure enough, the importance of informatics in scientific research is indeed great!" Xu You sighed.

Xu You wished he could send Peng Jun a banner now to express his gratitude to Peng Jun.

In this way, as long as the molecular formula and molecular structure of a molecule can be determined, superconductivity can be predicted through software first, without having to measure one by one.

The discovery of superconducting materials is absolutely a revolutionary achievement.

But soon, Xu You also calmed down.

"Although the modeling program has been created, the amount of data that needs to be verified is indeed too large."

Now, what Xu You faces is a permutation and combination problem.

For each simulation, Xu You needs to extract several elements from more than 100 chemical elements, and determine the number of each atom, the structure of the atoms, and other information.

In this way, the types of substances that need to be measured can be said to be nearly infinite.

Such a huge amount of data is even much larger than the number of all possible chess games in Go.

Even supercomputers cannot complete all calculations within a limited time.

"No wonder high-temperature superconductors are so difficult to discover. If the scope of high-temperature superconductors cannot be determined, it is really more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack."

Even if a room-temperature superconductor at normal pressure does exist, we don’t know when it will be found.

Thinking of this, Xu You decided to narrow down the scope of several conditions first.

"First select several elements that are most likely to constitute superconductors, and limit the number of atoms of each type to 200..."

For example, the currently known superconductor with the highest temperature under normal pressure has a strange molecular formula like Hg12Tl3Ba30Ca30Cu45O127.

Xu You roughly estimated the number of possibilities for all combinations after narrowing down the scope of conditions.

"The number is still too huge. Ordinary computers are definitely unable to complete the calculations. It seems that super computers will be used again."

Xu You estimated that if you use this method to find new high-temperature superconductors, the expenditure on supercomputing electricity alone will definitely be very expensive.

But in comparison, this should be the fastest way.

If one material is synthesized and measured one by one.

Not only the preparation cost is also not low.

The time consumed is also far more.

Thinking of this, Xu You went to Qiao Sen and explained his new idea to Qiao Sen.

"Using software simulation to predict superconductors? It's really a novel idea."

And when Qiao Sen carefully checked Xu You's model and input some substances to verify it.

I found that the prediction accuracy of Xu You's model is indeed very high.

“What an incredible result!”

The value of such a software model alone is difficult to estimate.

But after further communication with Xu You, Qiao Sen also realized another problem.

"Indeed, the number of possible molecular structures is too huge. If you want to verify them one by one, there will definitely not be enough time."

"Teacher, I want to draw a rough range first and select a few most likely elements for verification. Although the amount of data is also very large, the calculation can still be completed if supercomputing is used."
