  2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Superconductors may be considered perfect diamagnets, and completely expel magnetic fields due to the Meissner effect when the superconductivity initially forms; thus superconducting levitation can be considered a particular instance of diamagnetic levitation. In a type-II superconductor, the levitation of the magnet is further stabilized due ...

  3. Meissner effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissner_effect

    The experiment demonstrated for the first time that superconductors were more than just perfect conductors and provided a uniquely defining property of the superconductor state. The ability for the expulsion effect is determined by the nature of equilibrium formed by the neutralization within the unit cell of a superconductor.

  4. Levitation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitation_(physics)

    a high-temperature superconductor levitating above magnet. Magnetic levitation is the most commonly seen and used form of levitation. This form of levitation occurs when an object is suspended using magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are commonly used for demonstration purposes.

  5. Superconductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity

    A superconductor can be Type I, meaning it has a single critical field, above which all superconductivity is lost and below which the magnetic field is completely expelled from the superconductor; or Type II, meaning it has two critical fields, between which it allows partial penetration of the magnetic field through isolated points.

  6. Superdiamagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdiamagnetism

    Superdiamagnetism established that the superconductivity of a material was a stage of phase transition. Superconducting magnetic levitation is due to superdiamagnetism, which repels a permanent magnet which approaches the superconductor, and flux pinning, which prevents the magnet floating away. Superdiamagnetism is a feature of superconductivity.

  7. Superconducting magnetic energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic...

    Superconducting fault current limiters (SFCL) are used to limit current under a fault in the grid. In this system a superconductor is quenched (raised in temperature) when a fault in the gridline is detected. By quenching the superconductor the resistance rises and the current is diverted to other grid lines.

  8. High-temperature superconductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature...

    Small magnet levitating above a high-temperature superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen: this is a case of Meissner effect. An experiment based on flux quantization of a three-grain ring of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 (YBCO) was proposed to test the symmetry of the order parameter in the HTS.

  9. LK-99 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99

    LK-99 (from the Lee-Kim 1999 research), [2] also called PCPOSOS, [3] is a gray–black, polycrystalline compound, identified as a copper-doped lead‒oxyapatite.A team from Korea University led by Lee Sukbae (이석배) and Kim Ji-Hoon (김지훈) began studying this material as a potential superconductor starting in 1999.
