Extremely low resistance composition and methods for creating same

摘要

The invention pertains to creating new extremely low resistance (“ELR”) materials, which may include high temperature superconducting (“HTS”) materials. In some implementations of the invention, an ELR material may be modified by depositing a layer of modifying material unto the ELR material to form a modified ELR material. The modified ELR material has improved operational characteristics over the ELR material alone. Such operational characteristics may include operating at increased temperatures or carrying additional electrical charge or other operational characteristics. In some implementations of the invention, the ELR material is a cuprate-perovskite, such as, but not limited to YBCO. In some implementations of the invention, the modifying material is a conductive material that bonds easily to oxygen, such as, but not limited to, chromium.

1. A composition comprising:
a first layer comprising an HTS perovskite material; and a second layer comprising a modifying material, wherein the modifying material of the second layer is bonded to a face of the HTS perovskite material of the first layer, wherein the face is substantially perpendicular to an a-axis or a b-axis of the HTS perovskite material, wherein the modifying material comprises an element selected from the group consisting of: chromium, rhodium, beryllium, gallium, selenium, and vanadium.
