Is it possible to create/improve superconductivity (and/or increase Tc) by pumping in coherent phonons with proper frequency (kind of phonon laser)?
Induced superconductivity is a phenomenon in which a material that is not normally a superconductor can become one when it is placed in close proximity to a superconducting material or in the presence of a strong magnetic field.
Induced superconductivity works by the proximity effect or the Meissner effect. In the proximity effect, superconducting electrons can leak into the non-superconducting material, causing it to also become superconducting. In the Meissner effect, the magnetic field from the superconducting material repels the magnetic field from the non-superconducting material, causing it to become superconducting.
Induced superconductivity has many potential applications, including in power transmission, magnetic levitation, and high-speed computing. It can also be used in medical imaging and particle accelerators.
One of the main challenges in inducing superconductivity is finding materials that can maintain their superconducting state at high temperatures. Another challenge is controlling the strength and direction of the induced superconductivity.
Yes, induced superconductivity is a reversible process. When the external conditions that induce superconductivity are removed, the material will return to its non-superconducting state. This makes it a useful and controllable phenomenon for various applications.
