  • Lecture Notes: BCS Theory of Superconductivity
    Lecture Notes: BCS theory of superconductivity Prof. Rafael M. Fernandes Here we will discuss a new ground state of the interacting electron gas: the superconducting state. In this macroscopic quantum state, the electrons form coherent bound states called Cooper pairs, which dramatically change the macroscopic properties of the system, giving rise to perfect conductivity and perfect diamagnetism. We will mostly focus on conventional superconductors, where the Cooper pairs originate from a small attractive electron-electron interaction mediated by phonons. However, in the so- called unconventional superconductors - a topic of intense research in current solid state physics - the pairing can originate even from purely repulsive interactions. 1 Phenomenology Superconductivity was discovered by Kamerlingh-Onnes in 1911, when he was studying the transport properties of Hg (mercury) at low temperatures. He found that below the liquifying temperature of helium, at around 4:2 K, the resistivity of Hg would suddenly drop to zero. Although at the time there was not a well established model for the low-temperature behavior of transport in metals, the result was quite surprising, as the expectations were that the resistivity would either go to zero or diverge at T = 0, but not vanish at a finite temperature. In a metal the resistivity at low temperatures has a constant contribution from impurity scattering, a T 2 contribution from electron-electron scattering, and a T 5 contribution from phonon scattering. Thus, the vanishing of the resistivity at low temperatures is a clear indication of a new ground state. Another key property of the superconductor was discovered in 1933 by Meissner.

  • Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Positron-Emitting Radioisotopes from Solid Target Matrices
    XA0101188 11. United States of America Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Positron-Emitting Radioisotopes From Solid Target Matrices D. Schlyer, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Chemistry Department, Upton, Bldg. 901, New York 11973-5000, USA Project Description Supercritical fluids are attractive as media for both chemical reactions, as well as process extraction since their physical properties can be manipulated by small changes in pressure and temperature near the critical point of the fluid. What is a supercritical fluid? Above a certain temperature, a vapor can no longer be liquefied regardless of pressure critical temperature - Tc supercritical fluid r«gi on solid a u & temperature Fig. 1. Phase diagram depicting regions of solid, liquid, gas and supercritical fluid behavior. The critical point is defined by a critical pressure (Pc) and critical temperature (Tc) for a particular substance. Such changes can result in drastic effects on density-dependent properties such as solubility, refractive index, dielectric constant, viscosity and diffusivity of the fluid[l,2,3]. This suggests that pressure tuning of a pure supercritical fluid may be a useful means to manipulate chemical reactions on the basis of a thermodynamic solvent effect. It also means that the solvation properties of the fluid can be precisely controlled to enable selective component extraction from a matrix. In recent years there has been a growing interest in applying supercritical fluid extraction to the selective removal of trace metals from solid samples [4-10]. Much of the work has been done on simple systems comprised of inert matrices such as silica or cellulose. Recently, this process as been expanded to environmental samples as well [11,12].

The present work is my doctor of science thesis which contains my contribution (42 works) to this field made between 1993 and 2008. Inhere I mainly discuss the common physical and mathematical features of several exactly solvable statistical models which describe the nuclear liquid-gas phase transition and the deconfinement phase transition. Luckily, in some cases it was possible to rigorously extend the solutions found in thermodynamic limit to finite volumes and to formulate the finite volume analogs of phases directly from the grand canonical partition. It turns out that finite volume (surface) of a system generates also the temporal constraints, i.e. the finite formation/decay time of possible states in this finite system. Among other results I would like to mention the calculation of upper and lower bounds for the surface entropy of physical clusters within the Hills and Dales model; evaluation of the second virial coefficient which accounts for the Lorentz contraction of the hard core repulsing potential between hadrons; inclusion of large width of heavy quark-gluon bags into statistical description.

  • Introduction to Unconventional Superconductivity Manfred Sigrist
    Introduction to Unconventional Superconductivity Manfred Sigrist Theoretische Physik, ETH-Hönggerberg, 8093 Zürich, Switzerland Abstract. This lecture gives a basic introduction into some aspects of the unconventionalsupercon- ductivity. First we analyze the conditions to realized unconventional superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems. Then an introduction of the generalized BCS theory is given and sev- eral key properties of unconventional pairing states are discussed. The phenomenological treatment based on the Ginzburg-Landau formulations provides a view on unconventional superconductivity based on the conceptof symmetry breaking.Finally some aspects of two examples will be discussed: high-temperature superconductivity and spin-triplet superconductivity in Sr2RuO4. Keywords: Unconventional superconductivity, high-temperature superconductivity, Sr2RuO4 INTRODUCTION Superconductivity remains to be one of the most fascinating and intriguing phases of matter even nearly hundred years after its first observation. Owing to the breakthrough in 1957 by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer we understand superconductivity as a conden- sate of electron pairs, so-called Cooper pairs, which form due to an attractive interaction among electrons. In the superconducting materials known until the mid-seventies this interaction is mediated by electron-phonon coupling which gises rise to Cooper pairs in the most symmetric form, i.e. vanishing relative orbital angular momentum and spin sin- glet configuration (nowadays called s-wave pairing). After the introduction of the BCS concept, also studies of alternative pairing forms started. Early on Anderson and Morel [1] as well as Balian and Werthamer [2] investigated superconducting phases which later would be identified as the A- and the B-phase of superfluid 3He [3]. In contrast to the s-wave superconductors the A- and B-phase are characterized by Cooper pairs with an- gular momentum 1 and spin-triplet configuration.

Both states of matter are present at the same time. In the flat sections, heat is being removed by the formation of intermolecular bonds. The flat points are phase changes. The heat added to the system are being used to break intermolecular bonds. PHASE DIAGRAMS Phase diagrams are used to show when a specific substance will change its state of matter (alignment of particles and distance between particles).

    States of Matter A Museum of Science Traveling Program Description States of Matter is a 60- minute presentation about the characteristics of solids, liquids, gases, and the temperature- dependent transitions between them. It is designed to build on NGSS-based curricula. NGSS: Next Generation Science Standards Needs We bring all materials and equipment, including a video projector and screen. Access to 110- volt electricity is required. Space Requirements The program can be presented in assembly- suitable spaces like gyms, multipurpose rooms, cafeterias, and auditoriums. Goals: Changing State A major goal is to show that all substances will go through phase changes and that every substance has its own temperatures at which it changes state. Goals: Boiling Liquid nitrogen boils when exposed to room temperature. When used with every day objects, it can lead to unexpected results! Goals: Condensing Placing balloons in liquid nitrogen causes the gas inside to condense, shrinking the balloons before the eyes of the audience! Latex-free balloons are available for schools with allergic students. Goals: Freezing Nitrogen can also be used to flash-freeze a variety of liquids. Students are encouraged to predict the results, and may end up surprised! Goals: Behavior Changes When solids encounter liquid nitrogen, they can no longer change state, but their properties may have drastic—sometimes even shattering— changes. Finale Likewise, the properties of gas can change at extreme temperatures. At the end of the program, a blast of steam is superheated… Finale …incinerating a piece of paper!

  • 8. Gas-Phase Kinetics
    8. Gas-Phase Kinetics The unimolecular decomposition of gaseous di-tert-butyl peroxide is studied by monitoring the increase in the total pressure that results from the formation of three moles of gaseous products for each mole of reactant. The reaction is studied as a function of initial pressure, in the range 30-80 torr, and at two temperatures — ~150˚C and ~165˚C. General Reading 1. Oxtoby, Nachtrieb, and Freeman, Chemistry: Science of Change (2nd edit.); Sections 15.1-15.3 and 15.5-15.6. 2. Shoemaker, Garland, and Nibler, Experiments in Physical Chemistry (6th edit.); pp. 280-290 (Experiment 24); pp. 630-631 (manometers). [See also especially ref. 15 listed on p. 290.] 3. Levine, Physical Chemistry (4th edit.); Section 17.10 (unimolecular reaction theory). Theory Gas-phase decomposition reactions often exhibit first-order kinetics. Yet it is now understood that the mechanisms for these reactions are actually bimolecular in nature. The reaction is initiated by collisional activation (bimolecular) to an energy that is high enough to undergo decomposition, A + A ® A + A* k1 (1) where A* represents the activated molecule. The observed first-order behavior is a consequence of a competition between the reverse of this process (collisional deactivation), A* + A ® A + A k2 (2) and the decay of A* to products, A* ® products kA (3) When the rate of Process (2) is much greater than that of (3), the concentration of A* is maintained essentially at its equilibrium level. Then Process (3) becomes the rate-determining step, and the reaction exhibits first-order kinetics. This qualitative description can also be reached more quantitatively by employing the steady-state approximation, whereby the rates of change for reaction intermediates are set equal to zero.

  • Experiment 4-Heat of Fusion and Melting Ice Experiment
    Experiment 4-Heat of Fusion and Melting Ice Experiment In this lab, the heat of fusion for water will be determined by monitoring the temperature changes while a known mass of ice melts in a cup of water. The experimentally determined value for heat of fusion will be compared with the accepted standard value. We will also explore the following question regarding the rates of melting for ice cubes is posed: Will ice cubes melt faster in distilled water or in salt water? Part A-Heat of Fusion A phase change is a term physicists use for the conversion of matter from one of its forms (solid, liquid, gas) to another. Examples would be the melting of solid wax to a liquid, the evaporation of liquid water to water vapor, or condensation of a gas to a liquid. The melting of a solid to a liquid is called fusion. As a phase change occurs, say the evaporation of boiling water, the temperature of the material remains constant. Thus, a pot of boiling water on your stove remains at 100 °C until all of the water is gone. Even if the pot is over a big flame that is 900 °C, the water in the pot will only be 100 °C. A tray of water in your freezer will approach 0 °C and remain at that temperature until the water is frozen, no matter how cold the freezer is. In a phase change, heat energy is being absorbed or emitted without changing the temperature of the material. The amount of energy that is absorbed or emitted during a phase change obviously depends on the mass of the material undergoing the change.

  • Phase Changes Do Now
    Phase Changes Do Now: What are the names for the phases that matter goes through when changing from solid to liquid to gas, and then back again? States of Matter - Review By adding energy, usually in the form of heat, the bonds that hold a solid together can slowly break apart. The object goes from one state, or phase, to another. These changes are called PHASE CHANGES. Solids A solid is an ordered arrangement of particles that have very little movement. The particles vibrate back and forth but remain closely attracted to each other. Liquids A liquid is an arrangement of less ordered particles that have gained energy and can move about more freely. Their attraction is less than a solid. Compare the two states: Gases By adding energy, solids can change from an ordered arrangement to a less ordered arrangement (liquid), and finally to a very random arrangement of the particles (the gas phase). Each phase change has a specific name, based on what is happening to the particles of matter. Melting and Freezing The solid, ordered The less ordered liquid molecules gain energy, molecules loose energy, collide more, and slow down, and become become less ordered. more ordered.
