Course description
In Introduction to High Temperature Superconductors , you'll learn ...
- History of superconductors and the development of high temperature superconductors
- How conductors become superconductors
- Common materials used for superconductors and their properties
- How to construct a simple superconductor using readily available materials
Overview
Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 9 pages
In this introductory course, the student will become familiar with high temperature superconductors, the Meissner effect, the zero resistance effect, availability of experimentation kits, how to make a superconductor from scratch, applications for superconductors, and superconductor patent information. By possibly implementing existing superconductor technology in devices such as electromagnets, the student can increase performance and shrink size versus conventional conductors.
This introductory course is intended for any professional working with electrical, electronic, or magnetic equipment that could possibly benefit from the use of high temperature superconductor technology. It is also intended for the engineer or scientist that has a general interest in superconductor technology and would like to know the basics.
