Chapter 848: Research on room temperature superconducting materials(2/2)
The technology related to room-temperature superconducting materials is still imprinted in his mind. This is one of the most important achievements he developed in his previous life.
But the main reason why he has never replicated this technology is because, on the one hand, this technology is a huge killer for him and for China.
It's just that there has never been much opportunity to use this trump card.
Whether it is controllable nuclear fusion technology or the research and development of aerospace engines, high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials have perfectly supported the development.
On the other hand, it is because the room-temperature superconducting materials he developed have huge flaws.
This is one of the reasons why he has never thought about developing this technology quickly.
Although room-temperature superconducting materials, which were born based on the localized structure theory of condensed matter electrons, have achieved superconductivity in a room-temperature environment, they are extremely difficult to mass-produce industrially and process into specified shapes.
In addition, the environment in which it works requires a certain pressure, and it is easily damaged and loses its superconducting properties when encountering vibration, collision, etc.
Although it has greater potential than high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials, compared with the application value of the two, at least in Xu Chuan's view, it is currently not as good as high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials.
Although the latter has certain requirements for working temperature, it is simple for industrial production, can be processed into various shapes, and can be applied to various equipment. In addition to temperature, it does not have strict requirements on other environmental conditions and its properties are stable.
After all, for today's technological system, it does not mean that room-temperature superconductors will be able to kill everyone once they are developed.
A technology is very powerful, but if it is difficult to achieve industrial production and has a relatively narrow scope of use, it will also be difficult to be accepted by the social system.
There are actually quite a few materials and technologies that are accidentally discovered in the laboratory that are excellent in 'certain properties', but not many of them can really be popularized.
Because a useful material must not only have excellent physical and chemical properties, including high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high strength, high hardness, etc.
At the same time, a fundamental condition that determines whether it can be widely used is that it is easy to prepare and process.
Plastic, for example, is an excellent material.
Its various properties determine that it will be a material widely used in society.
The room-temperature superconducting materials he developed in his previous life were obviously not of this type.
However, the direction of research has been pointed out. If we continue to study along the condensed matter oxidation symmetry breaking theory, improving this ultra-temperature superconducting technology will undoubtedly be simpler than completely new research and development.
This technology can also be rolled out.
.......
He took out a new stack of A4 paper from the drawer. After recalling it in his mind for a while, Xu Chuan picked up the ballpoint pen on the table and quickly wrote a title on the manuscript paper.
"Complete the study of superconducting systems based on the localized structure theory of condensed matter electrons"
Looking at the title on the manuscript paper, he put his hands together and held his chin, lost in thought.
It is not difficult for him to copy the theory in his memory.
But that doesn't mean much.
The room-temperature superconducting materials developed in his previous life had great flaws, and what he wanted to do now was not just a replica.
Instead, on the basis of the original localized structure theory of condensed matter electrons, we will explore a path that can be optimized by integrating the theory in the grand unified framework of strongly correlated electronic systems.
That's the hard part of the job.
