101Metallic hydrogen — Some gas giants have metallic hydrogen in their centers Metallic hydrogen is a state of hydrogen which results when it is sufficiently compressed and undergoes a phase transition; it is an example of degenerate matter. Solid metallic hydrogen is… …
102Cryotron — For the gas filled tube, see Krytron. The cryotron is a switch that operates using superconductivity. The cryotron works on the principle that magnetic fields destroy superconductivity. This simple device consists of two superconducting wires ( e …
103National High Magnetic Field Laboratory — logo the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) is a laboratory at Florida State University, with branches in University of Florida and at Los Alamos National Laboratory. NHMFL develops and research at magnetic fields for research in… …
104Niobium-tin — Unity cell of the A15 phases of Nb3Sn Niobium tin (Nb3Sn) or triniobium tin is a metallic chemical compound of niobium (Nb) and tin (Sn), used industrially as a type II superconductor. This intermetallic compound is a A15 phases superconductor.… …
105Pseudogap — A pseudogap is a term from the field of high temperature superconductivity which describes an energy (normally near the Fermi energy) which has very few states associated with it. This is very similar to a gap , which is an energy that has no… …
106Cryogenic particle detectors — operate at very low temperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. These sensors interact with an energetic elementary particle (such as a photon) and deliver a signal which can be related to the type of particle and the nature of …
107Type-II superconductor — A Type II superconductor is a superconductor characterised by its gradual transition from the superconducting to the normal state within an increasing magnetic field. Typically they superconduct at higher temperatures and magnetic fields than… …
108Composite Reaction Texturing — Scanning Electron Microscope image of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x material prepared by the CRT method. The dark areas are the MgO whiskers. The material is etched to reveal the grain boundaries. The Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x grains are flake shaped with the c axis… …
109Bechgaard salt — A Bechgaard Salt is any one of a number of organic charge transfer complexes that exhibit superconductivity at low temperatures [The Physics of Organic Superconductors and Conductors, A.G. Lebed (Ed.), (Springer Series in Materials Science , Vol …
110Brian Pippard — Sir Alfred Brian Pippard ScD FRS (September 7, 1920 ndash; September 21, 2008) was a British physicist. He was Cavendish Professor of Physics from 1971 until 1984. He was an Honorary Fellow of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge.Brian Pippard… …
