FIRST-PRINCIPLES STUDY ON MECHANICAL PROPERTY OF SUPERCONDUCTING MATERIALS

After the discovery of superconducting properties in the early decade of the last century, everyone has been looking for the best materials for the electrical and magnetic applications. Superconducting wires have changed the thought of conventional power transferring mechanisms, so improvement in the other properties like mechanical etc. can establish the materials for better performance. Although high transition temperature (HTC) superconductors show some promising improvements but low transition temperature (LTC) superconductors holding the majority of the markets for their application fields. In this paper, I am reporting mechanical property of low, medium, and high Tc (transition temperature) superconductors by using density functional theory.
