EXPLORING THE RECENT ADVANCEMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS

Science

High temperature superconductors have become an astonishing industrial focus due to their extraordinary applications in different fields such as healthcare, energy, computing, and transportation. Conventional superconductors have been found to have limited applicability due to their low transition temperature. The discovery of high temperature superconductors has augmented their potential applications and opened one of the most exciting fields of research to revolutionise science, medical science and technology. Hence, it is very much necessary to understand the mechanisms/theories, challenges and the basic principles accounted for the phenomenon of superconductivity in high temperature superconductors and their numerous functional aspects of applications in everyday settings of life. Present review study attempted to explore plausible choice of mechanisms/theories responsible for occurrence of superconductivity in high temperature superconductors and understanding the challenges of high temperature superconductors. Also attempts have been made to find possible explanation of variation of superconducting properties of high temperature superconductors in terms of Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer Theory, Spin Fluctuation Theory, Resonating Valence Bond Theory, Fermi Surface Theory, Charge Density Wave Theory and Electron Phase Connection Theory. It is revealed by the study that despite of innumerable researches, none of the mechanisms/theories provide full fledged explanation of the superconducting phenomenon in high temperature superconductors.
