SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIALS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

Abstract

The objective of this document is to explain the “Recent trends in Superconducting materials by the use of carbon nano tubes (CNT’S) .Carbon nano tubes (CNT’S) which are one dimensional (1D) molecular conductor. Tiny tubes of carbon may conduct electricity without any resistance. Ping Shing and coworkers at Hong Kong University of science and technology have found Nano tubes exhibit superconducting behavior below 20 Kelvin confirming that resistance free current can flow through pure carbon. The tubes would be the first superconductor to work at room temperature hence it conduct electricity and heat by lattice vibrations in the materials.
