Introduction to Organic Conductor and Superconductor

 DITA PUSPITA SARI
Course content
A new course will be established for graduate students to deepen their knowledge of electrical conductivity and its mechanisms in carbon-based organic materials and introduce the basic science, engineering, and applications of the discovery of organic superconductivity and the recent development of organic superconducting materials.
It is close to our daily life.

Superconductivity is a quantum phenomenon in which Fermi electrons behave as bosons at low temperatures, increasing conductivity without loss of energy. Both experimental and theoretical research fields are now establishing important features of superconductivity that have applications in advanced technologies such as room-temperature superconductors and future magnetic resonance imaging and quantum computing machines. To achieve this, the development of superconducting materials will certainly be an important area of research for decades to come. Molecular organic carbon-based superconductors are a promising family of superconductors due to their durability, cleanliness, and environmental friendliness.

The lecture begins with the history of polymer conductivity and knowledge about quasi-one-dimensional to two-dimensional conductor, and concludes with a discussion of recent trends and issues in organic superconductivity.
Purpose of class
