Talk:Unconventional superconductor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  • I'm sceptical towards the claim that "at present it is considered unlikely that cuprate perovskite materials will achieve room-temperature superconductivity". I recently interviewed Nicolas Doiron-Leyraud (concerning some interesting research on understanding high-temperature superconductors, see http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-06/c-asn060607.php), and his opinion was that copper oxides so far are the best candidates for room-teperature superconductors. (It can be argued that it still is unlikely that copper oxides will reach room-temperature superconductivity, but that's just playing on words. And in any case it would be nice with a reference to the statement.) --Itangalo 06:05, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
