Chapter 92 A new discovery

Two days later, Xu You came to Qiao Sen's laboratory again with his new theory and the pile of papers.

Seeing the pile of papers Xu You was carrying, Qiao Sen was surprised and said:

"Have you finished reading it all?"

"Well, I finished reading it, and I also discovered some new things."

"Oh? Sit down and speak slowly."

Xu You was not in a hurry to explain his theory, but first sorted out the bundle of papers and put them back to the previous place.

Xu You knew that he would have to borrow some information from Qiao Sen frequently in the future.

It's easy to borrow and return, and it's not difficult to borrow again.

"Teacher, there are 58 papers in total, and there are quite a few of them. I will put them back for you."

"Ah, it's okay, you're welcome, just leave it there."

After finishing the paper, Xu You said to Qiao Sen:

"Teacher, I may have discovered some new properties of aluminum superconductivity."

"Aluminum superconductor?" Qiao Sen asked.

Qiao Sen naturally knew that aluminum was a superconducting material.

Aluminum atoms will exhibit superconducting properties at extremely low temperatures (about 1K).

However, this is a property that was discovered by the physics community a long time ago.

Since Xu You came here specially, he definitely didn't just find this kind of thing that his predecessors had discovered long ago.

"If I guess correctly, you are not talking about the superconducting properties of aluminum atoms."

"Of course, teacher, I am not referring to the superconductivity of aluminum atoms. Although I am not sure whether my theory can be verified experimentally, at least no one has discovered it before."

Before Xu You came to Qiao Sen, he had confirmed that this was a new theory, so he came to Qiao Sen specifically.

"Well, let's talk about the core of your theory first."

"Teacher, do you know about atomic clusters?"

"Atomic cluster? It's a special structure in which multiple atoms are bonded together, right?"

As a professor in the Department of Physics, Qiao Sen's knowledge of mathematics and chemistry is naturally quite good.

Atomic clusters are a relatively special molecular structure. The most common ones are carbon 60, which is a typical atomic cluster.

"Yes. This theory of mine is related to atomic clusters."

Xu You opened the notebook and continued to explain himself while showing Qiao Sen his theory.

As he listened, Qiao Sen's expression kept changing in various ways.

"Teacher, according to my speculation, if aluminum atoms can form larger aluminum atom clusters, as long as Cooper pairs are produced, superconducting properties can be achieved. The superconductor of this kind of aluminum atom cluster may have a superconducting critical temperature higher than ordinary

The bulk aluminum is much higher."

Qiao Sen looked at Xu You's theory and didn't know how to answer it for a moment.

In terms of the novelty of the theory and its significance in the field of superconducting research, this is undoubtedly a very good theory.

Although there are already many known superconducting substances, every time a new superconducting substance is discovered, it is enough to be featured in the top physics journals.

Not to mention, it is this kind of elemental superconductor.

The physics community has completed verification of the superconducting properties of various elements.

At present, a total of 28 superconducting elements have been discovered under normal pressure.

But few people go to study in the direction of atomic clusters.

It's a pity that Qiao Sen cannot make an objective judgment just by looking at Xu You's theory.

"Xu You, how on earth did you come up with this theory?"

"The accumulation of knowledge and constant collisions, plus a little inspiration. Teacher, what do you think of this direction? Is it convenient to verify it with experiments?"

"To be honest, your theory involves too much knowledge, and I dare not say how promising it is. But at least from the perspective of experimental verification, it is still quite difficult."

Hearing Qiao Sen's words, Xu You was still a little disappointed.

If it cannot be verified whether it is right or wrong, then this theory can only be said to be a hypothesis.

But Xu You was not discouraged and continued to ask:

"Teacher, what is the main difficulty?"

"The first is the preparation of atomic clusters. You know, my research field is condensed matter physics, which does not involve material preparation. I am not sure whether your atomic cluster structure can be prepared. I will discuss it later.

Let’s go ask the professor at the School of Materials Science.”

"Okay, then I'll trouble the teacher."

"Of course, after we have the materials, we have a problem with the condensed matter part. To put it simply, the main work is to reach low temperature conditions and then measure the resistance. It sounds simple, right? In fact, the process is still very complicated and cumbersome.

And the investment is quite huge. But no matter what, I am still very willing to give it a try."

After receiving Qiao Sen's initial affirmation, Xu You's heart ignited hope again.

After coming out of Qiao Sen's laboratory, Xu You has been thinking about the problem of preparing aluminum atom clusters.

"The materials...Jida's materials seem to be quite satisfactory."

Xu You guessed that Qiao Sen had probably consulted a professor at the School of Materials Science and Technology at Jida about this matter.

Engineering is the weak point of Ji University, and Ji University’s materials major only ranks around ten in the country.

It can be said that if you want to study engineering, it is best not to come to Ji University, as it does not match the school's comprehensive capabilities.

"Based on this level, Ji University's materials major may not be as good as Ningjiang University's materials major."

Although Ningjiang University is just an ordinary 985 university, engineering is considered its strong point, especially the trump card major of materials.

At this time, Xu You suddenly realized a key problem.

"Damn it, isn't my dad just a material dealer?"

For a while, Xu You was obsessed with the authorities and even forgot that his father was a professor of materials science.

But this is also because Xu You is usually too independent and rarely asks Xu Zhou for help, so he never forgets to think in that direction.

In excitement, Xu You quickly opened the address book on his mobile phone and called Xu Zhou.

As usual, the phone is still unreachable.

Xu You had no choice but to open WeChat and enter the message content in the chat dialog box with Xu Zhou:

"If it's urgent, come back as soon as you see me!"

Xuzhou was in class, and his cell phone was naturally on silent.

After class, Xu Zhou turned on his phone and saw missed calls and WeChat messages from Xu You.

"Is there something urgent?"

Seeing Xu You's message, Xu Zhou was a little confused.

Xu You is studying at Ji University. What's the emergency?

Sick? Or injured?

But if this happens, it's more likely that the instructor will contact you first.

"No, it might be something good. Could it be that..."

At this time, Xuzhou thought of another possibility.

After all, my children are older and college is a very free place.

Xu Zhou knew that Xu You had a high school classmate who was also admitted to Ji University.

In addition, one of Xu You's female teammates in the national sports team also has a good relationship with Xu You.

When taking pictures, I was still standing next to Xu You.
