Characteristics The first of the high temperature superconductors discovered is YBCO (Yttrium-Barium-Copper-Oxide), Being copper oxides, these materials are very poor conductors of electricity at room temperature. When they do become superconducting at liquid nitrogen temperatures, there are fewer Cooper pairs compared to metallic superconductors. As a result, they are strongly type II when superconducting - flux lines can penetrate. Superconductivity 71
Applications? Using these high temperature superconductors for MRI, trains, LHC and SQUID would remove the need for expensive liquid helium. Unfortunately, being copper oxides again, they are brittle and very difficult to make into electrical wires. Today, scientists are still trying to solve these engineering problems.
