Interfacial Processes in Compound Electrodeposition

该项目在分析和表面化学计划的支持下，重点研究具有新特性的复杂混合金属氧化物超导材料的电化学合成和表征。 这些材料将由马歇尔大学化学系的迈克尔·诺顿教授和他的学生用不同比例的钡、钾、铋和氧制备。 该小组首先开发了这些电化学制备这些材料的方法，这些材料具有减少的缺陷，赋予上级超导体性能。 振动光谱和光学和扫描隧道显微镜将被用来表征这些超导体材料。 在高温下用作超导体的材料表现出新颖的电子和磁性，有望在广泛的电子设备中应用。 在实现这些应用之前，制备无缺陷超导材料的过程是必要的。 马歇尔大学化学系的迈克尔·诺顿教授和他的学生们开发了一种新的电化学方法，用于制备由钡、钾、铋和氧组成的超导体材料。 该项目将专注于进一步开发这种独特的方法，以可靠地制备高温超导材料。

This project, supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program, focusses on the electrochemical synthesis and characterization of complex mixed metal oxide superconductor materials that exhibit novel properties. These materials will be prepared from varying ratios of barium, potassium, bismuth, and oxygen by Professor Michael Norton and his students in the Department of Chemistry at Marshall University. This group first developed these methods for electrochemically preparing these materials which have reduced defects that impart superior superconductor properties. Vibrational spectroscopy and optical and scanning tunnelling microscopies will be used to characterize these superconductor materials. Materials that function as superconductors at high temperatures exhibit novel electronic and magnetic properties that hold promise for applications in a wide range of electronic devices. Procedures for preparing defect free superconducting materials are necessary before these applications can be realized. Professor Michael Norton and his students in the Department of Chemistry at Marshall University have developed a new electrochemical method for preparing superconductor materials composed of barium, potassium, bismuth, and oxygen. This project will focus on further developing this unique approach to the reliable preparation of high temperature superconductor materials.
