Theoretical and practical challenges of hyperconductivity above room temperature (pdf slides)
- Short review of evidence for hyper-conductivity.
- Theoretical challenges: how does a quodon(+/-) propagate across dislocations and point detects. The evidence is clear that they can. Can they cross grain boundaries?
- What is the lower limit of energy for a quodon(+/-) to propagate 1mm at any given temperature?
- What are the atomic and structural factors of quasi-2D materials that can support hyperconductivity?
- Practical challenges: how to create quodons efficiently? How to control the momentum vector?
- The observed properties of quodons depend on the chemical composition of the mica. This can be understood in terms of selective doping to give n or p-type material.
- How to build a cable for hyperconductivity?
