  2. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    However, the liquid–vapor boundary terminates in an endpoint at some critical temperature T c and critical pressure p c. This is the critical point. The critical point of water occurs at 647.096 K (373.946 °C; 705.103 °F) and 22.064 megapascals (3,200.1 psi; 217.75 atm; 220.64 bar). [3]

  3. Critical phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_phenomena

    In physics, critical phenomena is the collective name associated with the physics of critical points. ... called the Curie temperature or critical temperature, ...

  4. Superconductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity

    The value of this critical temperature varies from material to material. Conventional superconductors usually have critical temperatures ranging from around 20 K to less than 1 K. Solid mercury, for example, has a critical temperature of 4.2 K. As of 2015, the highest critical temperature found for a conventional superconductor is 203 K for H 2 ...

  5. Type-II superconductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type-II_superconductor

    Critical magnetic flux densities B C1 and B C2 and the critical temperature T C are labeled. In the lower region of this graph, both type-I and type-II superconductors display the Meissner effect (a). A mixed state (b), in which some field lines are captured in magnetic field vortices, occurs only in Type-II superconductors within a limited ...

  6. Thermal de Broglie wavelength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_de_Broglie_wavelength

    In physics, the thermal de Broglie wavelength (, sometimes also denoted by ) is a measure of the uncertainty in location of a particle of thermodynamic average momentum in an ideal gas. [1] It is roughly the average de Broglie wavelength of particles in an ideal gas at the specified temperature.

  7. BCS theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCS_theory

    BCS theory predicts the dependence of the value of the energy gap Δ at temperature T on the critical temperature T c. The ratio between the value of the energy gap at zero temperature and the value of the superconducting transition temperature (expressed in energy units) takes the universal value [ 11 ] Δ ( T = 0 ) = 1.764 k B T c ...

  8. Critical field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_field

    The highest temperature under which the superconducting state is seen is known as the critical temperature. At that temperature even the weakest external magnetic field will destroy the superconducting state, so the strength of the critical field is zero. As temperature decreases, the critical field increases generally to a maximum at absolute ...

  9. Spinodal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinodal

    Extrema of the spinodal in a temperature vs composition plot coincide with those of the binodal curve, and are known as critical points. [7] The spinodal itself can be thought of as a line of pseudocritical points, with the correlation function taking a scaling form with non-classical critical exponents. [8]
