Ideal gas law-like behavior in chemically-induced superconductors

ORAL

Abstract

Fruitful attempts at understanding superconductors has led to the discovery of numerous empirical relationships concerning their physical properties. This includes, for example, the BNC empirical scaling rule [1], ΔC ~ Tc3, for some iron pnictide superconductors. Where ΔC represents the jump in heat capacity at critical temperature Tc3 . Similar scaling behaviors exist for superconductors in general as well. To date, however, the link between superconductivity and the chemical/structural properties of materials remains poorly understood. Here we report empirical ideal gas law-like relationships between the chemical unit and physical structure of chemically induced superconductors near the onset of superconductivity. [2]
