1. Recently, other unconventional superconductors, not based on cuprate structure, have been discovered. 2. The cuprate superconductors adopt a perovskite structure. 3. In 2001 it was regarded as behaving more like a metallic than a cuprate superconductor. 4. Nevertheless, at present it is considered unlikely that cuprate perovskite materials will achieve room-temperature superconductivity. 5. Cuprate superconductors usually feature copper oxides in both the oxidation state 3 + as well as 2 +.6. This indicates that the black copper oxide comes partially from the cuprate and partially from the PCB copper circuitry. 7. This figure shows a simplified version of the cuprate superconductor phase diagram and is based on that found at. 8. High-temperature cuprate superconductors show great promise for high-efficiency motors, transmission lines and many other applications. 9. Other type-II examples are the cuprate -perovskite ceramic materials which have achieved the highest superconducting critical temperatures. 10. "' Cuprate "'loosely refers to a material that can be viewed as containing anionic copper complexes.
