Chapter 288 Experiment successful!
In Xu You's theory, the requirements for experimental conditions are relatively strict.
Therefore, everyone must always pay attention to various data to ensure that the experimental environment is within the scope of the conditions.
If the experimental environment fluctuates, it is best to make timely adjustments so that the reaction can proceed smoothly.
Xu You stared at the screen, carefully observing the microstructure of the materials in the screen.
In the screen, the grain growth rate is not very fast, but overall it is relatively stable.
In Xu You's theory, the growth rate of grains can be increased by changing the substrate in the experimental cavity.
However, this method will make the requirements of the experimental environment more stringent and reduce the success rate of the reaction.
When doing experiments for the first time, focus on stability as much as possible.
If the material preparation can be successfully completed, the material preparation plan can be further optimized.
A few minutes later, everyone quickly finished their meal and continued to devote themselves to the experimental work.
Cui Ying silently packed away everyone's finished lunch boxes and did the logistical work for everyone.
In fact, Cui Ying's scientific research ability is also very strong, but as Xu You's assistant, she must handle all these trivial matters.
After sorting out the lunch boxes, Cui Ying followed and observed the phenomena on the screen, hoping to learn more.
Cui Ying hopes that she can not only help Xu You deal with various trivial matters, but also provide some professional help to Xu You in scientific research work.
After all, Cui Ying also has a bachelor's and master's degree from Jilin University and a PhD from Berkeley.
Wherever they are placed, they are all top-notch talents.
At this time, the crystal grains on the screen began to gradually grow and take shape.
"The prototype has already appeared, but the crystal grains are still mixed with impurities, pores and bubbles. There is still a certain distance from the ideal material."
Such materials are not sufficient as cathode materials for lithium batteries.
But Xu You was not discouraged.
Because Xu You knew that the reaction was only partially completed.
Next, is the most critical moment.
"Adjust the experimental conditions and start the second phase of the reaction."
Under Xu You's command, everyone continued to adjust various parameters of the experiment.
When the experimental environment enters the hot isostatic pressing state.
The crystal grains in the screen began to continue to change.
I saw that the various impurities, voids and bubbles mixed in during the previous experience began to gradually separate and eliminate from the crystal grains.
The quality of crystal grains is constantly improving.
Looking at the changes in the crystal grains on the screen, everyone knows that the experiment is gradually approaching success.
Finally, after the experiment continued for a while.
All reactions in the reaction chamber stopped completely, and the crystal grains entered a relatively stable state.
"The grain growth is very good, and it is basically consistent with the theoretical model!"
Several materials teachers knew that such grains should be the results they wanted.
"Sure enough, the results are exactly the same as what I simulated in my brain before."
Such experimental results once again verified Xu You's ability in spatial imagination.
Xu You was also very amazed by this ability of his.
Sometimes, this is even more useful than software simulation.
However, this ability requires too much mental power and mental state.
Only when Xu You is in very good condition can he use this magical method to simulate various evolutionary processes.
After successfully completing the preparation of this material, everyone was excited about the results.
This result proves that Xu You's idea is completely correct.
At this time, they finally fully realized Xu You's ability.
Able to accurately predict material preparation conditions through incredible calculations.
They have never seen such an ability in anyone before, and only a few legendary scientists have such magical abilities.
Perhaps this is what makes a Nobel Prize winner in physics unique.
"Thanks to all the teachers for their efforts, so that this material can be successfully prepared. After that, we will also conduct optimization experiments on the preparation plan. Please continue to keep strict confidentiality. I will arrange for Teacher Cui to pay for the project."
Processed.”
When establishing the project, Xu You asked Cui Ying to help and signed confidentiality agreements with several teachers.
After all, this material is likely to be used as a cathode material for lithium batteries, and its future application value is limitless.
Necessary confidentiality work must still be carried out.
"Don't worry, Teacher Xu, we will keep it strictly confidential. The cost is not an issue. We are very honored to be able to help Teacher Xu."
With the prepared materials, Xu You returned to his laboratory.
Next, Xu You needs to conduct some material testing.
These experiments can all be carried out in Xu You's own laboratory.
In order to ensure that he could better understand the properties of this material, Xu You decided to conduct experiments himself.
First, it is the test of the superconducting properties of the material.
This is a property that Xu You must first measure.
Because at the beginning, Xu You used supercomputing to calculate various superconducting materials and deduced the existence of this material.
If even the properties of superconductivity cannot be satisfied, then the properties of this material must be inconsistent with the calculation results.
"We have to start measuring resistance again." Xu You said with a smile.
From undergraduate to university professor, Xu You has never gotten rid of the experiment of measuring resistance.
With rich experimental experience, the operation of experiments is already familiar to Xu You.
Because the predicted superconducting critical temperature of this material is only slightly higher than absolute zero.
Xu You needs to use liquid helium as a coolant to reduce the ambient temperature to near its superconducting critical temperature.
After experiments, it was indeed proved that this is a superconducting material.
"The critical temperature of superconducting is 3.8K, which is very close to the predicted value."
In Xu You's algorithm, the lower the superconducting critical temperature of a material, the more accurately its superconducting critical temperature can be predicted.
After that, Xu You continued to conduct experiments on the complete diamagnetism and flux quantization of this material.
The final experimental results were very ideal.
"In addition to being completely electrically conductive, this material is also completely diamagnetic and has flux quantization properties. It is a standard superconductor."
After completing the verification of superconducting properties, Xu You felt more confident.
The accuracy of Xu You’s prediction model was once again proven.
The research on other properties of materials is also modified based on that set of prediction models.
If nothing else happens, there should be no problem predicting other properties of this material.
