Ceramic oxide superconductors.

Better superconductors from ceramic copper oxides. Large 17 o shifts are found between the different oxygen containing sites providing good resolution even from static spectra. It describes the factors that distinguish high temperature cuprate superconductors from most electronic ceramics and places them in the context of other families of superconducting materials.

The oxide based ceramic superconductors first discovered in 1986 have been a fruitful area for study by 17 o nmr. Still superconductors are so efficient compared to everyday materials like copper that the cost of cooling them down with special cryogenic circuits is negligible compared to the energy saved from being converted and ultimately wasted in the form of heat. A ceramic oxide superconductive composite material comprising a ceramic superconductor and a non super conductive material comprising at least one element which does not react with any of the elements of the ceramic oxide superconductor has improved superconductive properties such as a higher critical temperature and a larger critical cur rent density.
