History of superconductivity also be used i.e. the spinel battery material LiTi2Ox and the lattice pressure can increase Tc to over 13.8K Also LiHx has been theorized to metallise at a substantially lower pressure than H and could be a candidate for a Type 1 superconductor. Papers by H.K. Onnes BCS theory Other key papers Patents History of superconductivity Superconductivity is the phenomenon of certain materials exhibiting zero electrical resistance and the expulsion of magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature. The history of superconductivity began with Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes's discovery of superconductivity in mercury in 1911. Since then, many other superconducting
Heike John Heike John Heike John (now Heike Walpot; born 19 June 1960) is a retired German swimmer and former astronaut candidate. She won a bronze medal at the 1977 European Aquatics Championships. She competed at the 1976 Summer Olympics in the 100 m and 200 m backstroke events but did not reach the finals. During her career she won five national titles in the 100 m (1977) and 200 m (1977, 1978) backstroke and 200 m medley (1977, 1978). She missed the 1980 Summer Olympics because of their boycott by West Germany. After her swimming career, she studied medicine at RWTH
