ULTRA CONDUCTORS

CHAPTER 1:

INTRODUCTION

Ultra-conductors are a new class of materials that have the potential to revolutionize the field of electrical
engineering. Unlike traditional conductors , which have some resistance to electrical current, Ultra-
conductors have zero electrical resistance. This means that they can conduct electricity with 100%
efficiency, without generating any heat or wasting any energy. As a result, Ultra-conductors have many
potential applications, from power transmission to medical devices. While Ultra-conductors are still in the
early stages of development, they hold great promise for the future of electrical engineering.

Ultra-conductors are advanced materials with zero electrical resistance, which makes them highly efficient
conductors of electricity. They have many potential applications in various fields, including power
transmission, medical devices, and transportation. Ultra-conductors come in different types, such as
ceramic, metallic, and polymer-based materials, and they have unique properties that make them ideal for
different applications. However, Ultra-conductors also face challenges and limitations, such as high cost
and difficulty in manufacturing, which require further research and development. Overall, Ultra-conductors
have the potential to revolutionize the field of electrical engineering, and they are an exciting area of
ongoing research and innovation.

CHAPTER 2
Literature Survey

The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in the Ba-La-Cu-O system by Bednorz and Müller in
1986 marked a major breakthrough in the field of superconductivity. This discovery sparked intense
research efforts to develop new materials with higher superconducting temperatures (Tc). One proposed
mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity is the formation of Cooper pairs through electron-
phonon interactions, as suggested by Tachiki, Takahashi, and Hohenberg in 1987.

Ultra-conductors , a new class of materials with zero electrical resistance, have been proposed as potential
candidates for high-temperature superconductors . Chang introduced the concept of Ultra-conductors in
1979, and since then, various types of Ultra-conductors have been developed, including ceramic, metallic,
and polymer-based materials.

Larbalestier's comprehensive review of high-temperature superconductors in 1998 highlighted the potential

applications of Ultra-conductors , including power transmission, energy storage, and medical imaging. In
particular, Ultra-conductors have been shown to have advantages over traditional conductors in terms of
energy efficiency, high current carrying capacity, and low power loss.

Jin's 2010 review of superconductivity in iron pnictides provided insights into the structure and properties of
these materials, which have also been studied as potential Ultra-conductors . Fiory's 1993 article on the
current status of high-temperature superconductivity research discussed the challenges facing the
development of Ultra-conductors , such as the difficulty of synthesizing these materials and the high cost of
producing them.

Overall, the literature on Ultra-conductors highlights the potential of these materials to revolutionize the
field of electrical engineering. Further research is needed to develop new Ultra-conductors with higher Tc
values and to address the challenges and limitations of these materials. Nevertheless, the ongoing research in
Ultra-conductors holds promise for a wide range of applications in energy, medicine, and transportation.

3. Anatomy & Explanation

3.1 Anatomy

Fig: Anatomy of Cruise Missile

3.2 Charecterization
3.2.1 Magnetic Characterization
The processing treatment initiates characteristic changes in the magnetic state of the polymer, as measured
in a sensitive Faraday magnetic balance. The most typical feature is a growing ferromagnetism which
precedes the appearance of electrical conductivity. Additionally, in a small fraction of samples at moderate
magnetic fields,extremely high diamagnetism is observed, equivalent to a 5 - 10% volume fraction of a
superconducting filler in an insulating polymer. All magnetic readings are established against baseline
readings obtained for each sample (before processing) and film substrate. The ferromagnetic response
attributable to the changed electronic state of the polymer is therefore quite direct, and is always present in

Dept of E&CE, PDA 2022-23 3|Page

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

all samples which are conductive. Magnetic field gradients local to the channel structures are also observed
by AFM in magnetic mode.
Due to the connection between the ferromagnetic signature and electric conductivity, Ultra conductor
samples are routinely tested for ferromagnetic response, as a process control. Higher values of
ferromagnetism are related to the density of structures, and so to the number of conducting regions at the
film surface. The
magnetic responses typical of the processed Ultraconductor samples are entirely absent in the unprocessed
base polymers, as tested and in the literature.

3.2 Electric Characterization

3.2.1 Conductivity
The channels were early found to be electrically conductive, for ac and dc currents, at voltages as low as 0.1
mV. In addition, AFM electric field scans (using non-contact mode) indicate pronounced field gradients
localized to the conducting channels. The AFM scans also reveal a higher density of points than can be
measured
by conductive probe, indicating that a proportion of the channel structures do not fully
extend substrate to surface.
A significant body of experimentation has tested the value of the channel’s
conductivity, both under ambient conditions, and over a range of temperatures,
pressures, and magnetic field strengths. Test methods include 4- point probe, and
superconducting tin electrodes. The measurements indicate that the channels’
conductivity (1011 - 1024 S/cm) is dramatically higher than metals (~ 105 S/cm); and
that the high conductivity is insensitive to temperature (from 1.8 K to 700 K) or
magnetic fields (to 9 Tesla) .
3.2.2 Resistance
Electric resistance of the channels has also been measured under various
experimental configurations. With 2 point probe technique, newly formed
channelstypically have measured resistivities of ~ 1 Ohm. This initial measured
resistance can be lowered by several means, including a) application or release of
modest local(electrode) pressure; and b) application of pulsed ac currents of
increasing amperage over time. Following method b), called ‘training’, channel
resistivity is reduced to the range of 25 milliohms. (The disparity between the
conductivity of the channels (estimated from a variety of measurements) and the

Dept of E&CE, PDA 2022-23 4|Page

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

measured resistance is understood to indicate that a significant portion, if not all, of

the resistance is at the contact. This conclusion was also supported by 4- point probe
measurements, made independently at the Joffe Institute.
3.2.3 Thermal
Measurements also clearly indicate that the conductivity is not metallic: the
thermal conductivity of the conducting channels is found to be equivalent to the
surrounding dielectric polymer (indicating that the charge carriers in the conducting
channels are poor thermal conductors). The disparity between electric and thermal
conductivity of the channels is at least six to seven orders of magnitude beyond metals
in this respect. Such a large scale violation of the Wiedmann-Franz law is
experimentally known only for Cooper pair electrons, in superconductors.
3.2.4 Current Measurements
Individual channels (of approximately 1 - 2 microns diameter) also exhibit a
maximum current carrying capacity: exceeding a threshold current results in a jumplike
rise in resistance, melting of electrode and substrate, and vaporization of a small
volume of polymer . While high currents below the threshold do not affect the
polymer, a very small step increase (less than 0.1%) above the maximum current
results in the characteristic micro explosion event. The threshold current value is
increased significantly by the training procedure (application of incrementally stepped
increases of pulsed ac currents over time). The micro explosion event was
investigated, and several consistent features for the phenomenon were measured. The
event typically occurs between currents of 50 to100 amperes; occurs in extremely
short (ns) time scales; and corresponds to a sharp, nearly instantaneous rise in
resistivity of the channel. The rise in resistance in the channel is measured to occur
prior to the rise in temperature which accompanies it, indicating that the event is not
thermally triggered. In combination, these factors strongly suggest a ‘critical current’
event, analogous to those known for superconductors.
3.2.5 Thermopower
Conducting samples were also tested to determine the Seebeck coefficient of
the channels, and as compared to copper. Over the temperature range 87 - 233 K, a
zero Seebeck coefficient for the channels was observed, with a slope approximately
one order of magnitude lower than for the metal
3.2.6 Chemical and Morphologic Characterization
When conductive Ultraconductor samples (post processing) are tested and

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

compared against samples of the unprocessed base polymer for contaminants,

chemical composition, and metal inclusions, they are found to be identical in all
respects to the base material.
Examinations of morphologic features of samples, such as transparency, visco
elasticity, and so forth, also indicate that the bulk Ultraconductor polymer (excepting
the channels) is unchanged from the base polymer.
In films, the channel structures are distributed randomly in the polymer, and
are of varying lengths to a maximum measured of 100 microns. A proportion present
themselves through top and bottom film surfaces, as indicated by direct electric
contact. At the free surface, they are typically 1 - 2 microns in diameter, roughly
circular, and present as ‘bumps’ approximately 0.6 microns high (see the fig on next
page)

3.2 Properties of Ultra-Conductors

 Zero Electrical Resistance: The most notable property of Ultra Conductors is their zero electrical
resistance. This means that they can conduct electricity with 100% efficiency, without generating
any heat or wasting any energy.
 High Current Carrying Capacity: Ultra Conductors have the ability to carry large amounts of
electrical current without any significant loss of energy. This property makes them suitable for high-
power applications, such as power transmission and energy storage.
 Low Power Loss: Ultra Conductors have very low power loss, which means that they can transmit
electricity over long distances without significant energy loss. This makes them ideal for applications
where energy efficiency is critical.
 Temperature Dependence: Ultra Conductors typically have a critical temperature (Tc) above which
they lose their superconducting properties. The Tc value varies depending on the type of
Ultraconductor and its composition.
 Magnetic Properties: Ultra Conductors can exhibit unique magnetic properties, such as the
Meissner effect, which causes them to expel magnetic fields from their interior.

 Type of Material: Ultra Conductors come in different types, including ceramic, metallic, and
polymer-based materials. Each type of Ultraconductor has its unique properties that make it ideal for
different applications.

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

3.3 Types of Ultra conductors

I. Ceramic Ultra conductors: Ceramic Ultra Conductors , also known as high-temperature
superconductors , were the first type of Ultra Conductors to be discovered. They are typically
made from oxides of copper, barium, and lanthanum, and have a Tc of up to 135 K. They are used
in various applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, power generators,
and energy storage devices.
II. Metallic Ultra Conductors : Metallic Ultra Conductors are made from metals such as niobium,
titanium, and tantalum. They have a Tc of up to 23 K and are commonly used in particle
accelerators and other high-energy physics experiments.
III. Polymer-Based Ultra Conductors : Polymer-based Ultra Conductors are made from organic
materials such as polymers and carbon fibers. They have a Tc of up to 5 K and are typically used
in medical devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and magnetic sensors.
IV. Iron Pnictide Ultra Conductors : Iron pnictide Ultra Conductors are a new class of Ultra
Conductors that were discovered in 2008. They are made from iron-based compounds and have a
Tc of up to 56 K. They are used in various applications, such as power generation and
transportation.

3.3 Challenges in Ultra Conductors

High Production Cost: Ultra Conductors are typically more expensive to produce than traditional
conductors , which can limit their widespread adoption.

Limited Tc Values: Although Tc values for Ultra Conductors have increased over time, they are still
relatively low compared to traditional conductors . This limits their use in high-power applications that
require Ultra-low temperatures.

Brittle and Fragile: Ceramic Ultra Conductors can be brittle and fragile, which can make them difficult to
work with and limit their use in applications that require flexibility or durability.

Limited Applications: Ultra Conductors are currently limited to specific applications, such as MRI
machines, particle accelerators, and power transmission. Further research is needed to explore their potential
use in other applications.

Dept of E&CE, PDA 2022-23 7|Page

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

Magnetic Field Limitations: Ultra Conductors can only carry a limited amount of electrical current in the
presence of a magnetic field. This can limit their use in applications where strong magnetic fields are
present, such as in magnetic levitation (maglev) trains.

Synthesis Challenges: The synthesis of Ultra Conductors can be challenging and time-consuming, which
can limit their availability and scalability.

Cooling Requirements: Most Ultra Conductors require cooling to Ultra-low temperatures (below -200°C)
to maintain their superconducting properties. This cooling process can be energy-intensive and expensive,
which can limit the use of Ultra Conductors in practical applications.

Critical Current Density: Ultra Conductors have a critical current density (Jc) limit, which determines the
maximum amount of electrical current they can carry. The Jc limit for Ultra Conductors is typically lower
than traditional conductors , which can limit their use in high-power applications.

Size Limitations: Ultra Conductors are typically brittle and difficult to fabricate into complex shapes,
which can limit their use in applications that require flexibility or customization.

Environmental Concerns: Some Ultra Conductors contain rare or toxic materials, which can raise
environmental concerns regarding their production, use, and disposal.

Stability Issues: Ultra Conductors can exhibit stability issues in the presence of magnetic fields or high
electrical currents, which can cause them to lose their superconducting properties.

Integration Challenges: Integrating Ultra Conductors with existing electrical systems can be challenging
due to their unique properties and cooling requirements.

3.4 Usage of Cruise Missiles Over Ballistic Missiles

 Targeting Flexibility: Unlike ballistic missiles that follow a predetermined trajectory and have
limited ability to maneuver, cruise missiles can be programmed to fly over a variety of routes,
allowing for greater targeting flexibility and precision.

 Evasion of Air Defense Systems: Because cruise missiles typically fly at lower altitudes than
ballistic missiles, they are often able to evade detection by radar systems designed to track
ballistic missiles. This makes cruise missiles potentially more effective against heavily defended
targets.

Dept of E&CE, PDA 2022-23 8|Page

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

 Reduced Collateral Damage: Cruise missiles are often able to strike targets with greater
accuracy than ballistic missiles, which can reduce the risk of collateral damage to nearby
structures or civilians.

 Proximity to Target: Cruise missiles can be launched from much closer to the target than
ballistic missiles, which typically require a launch site hundreds or even thousands of miles
away. This means that cruise missiles can be launched from platforms such as submarines or
aircraft, which can be positioned much closer to the target area.

 Cost: Cruise missiles tend to be less expensive than ballistic missiles, which can make them a
more cost-effective option for some military operations.

3.5 Ethical and Legal Implications of Cruise Missiles

From an ethical standpoint, there is a debate about the morality of using cruise missiles in warfare.
Critics argue that the use of such weapons can cause unnecessary harm to civilians and result in
significant collateral damage, particularly in urban areas. Additionally, the use of cruise missiles may
lead to a form of "remote warfare," where the decision to use lethal force is made by individuals who
are not physically present in the combat zone. This can raise questions about accountability and
responsibility for civilian casualties.

From a legal standpoint, the use of cruise missiles in warfare is governed by international
humanitarian law (IHL), which sets out rules and principles for the conduct of hostilities. The use of
cruise missiles must comply with IHL principles such as distinction, proportionality, and military
necessity, which require that attacks be directed only at military targets and that the harm caused to
civilians or civilian objects is not excessive in relation to the military advantage gained.

Furthermore, the use of cruise missiles may also raise legal questions related to the sovereignty of
other countries. In cases where cruise missiles are used to target individuals or groups within another
country, without the explicit consent of that country's government, it can be seen as a violation of
that country's sovereignty and may be challenged under international law.

3.6 Cruise Missiles Defense and Countermeasures

Cruise missiles are a significant threat to military installations and civilian targets alike, as they are
difficult to detect and intercept due to their low-altitude flight and small radar cross-section. Therefore,
defense against cruise missiles has become a critical issue for many countries.

One approach to cruise missile defense is through the use of surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) and anti-
aircraft guns. SAMs can be effective in intercepting cruise missiles, particularly those flying at higher
altitudes, while anti-aircraft guns are used to engage cruise missiles flying at lower altitudes.
Additionally, electronic warfare systems can be employed to disrupt the guidance and communication
systems of incoming cruise missiles, rendering them ineffective.

Another approach to cruise missile defense is through the use of directed energy weapons (DEWs), such
as lasers and high-powered microwaves. DEWs have the advantage of being able to engage multiple
targets simultaneously, as well as having low operating costs and high kill probabilities. However,
current DEW technology is still in the developmental phase and has not been widely deployed.

Cruise missile countermeasures involve tactics and technologies that are designed to deceive or defeat
cruise missile defense systems. One such countermeasure is the use of decoys, which can be deployed
from the cruise missile to confuse and overwhelm SAMs and anti-aircraft guns. Electronic
countermeasures, such as jamming and spoofing, can also be used to disrupt the guidance and
communication systems of cruise missile defense systems.

In conclusion, cruise missile defense and countermeasures are critical components of modern military
operations. As cruise missiles continue to evolve and become more advanced, it is imperative for
governments and military organizations to invest in new technologies and tactics to effectively defend
against and counter these threats.

3.7 Overview into Cruise Missile Defense Systems

Missile defense systems such as the Patriot and THAAD also have the capability to intercept and destroy
incoming cruise missiles, providing a critical layer of defense against this type of weapon. The ability to
Dept of E&CE, PDA 2022-23 10 | P a g e
 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

defend against cruise missiles is important because they are difficult to detect and intercept due to their
low altitude and maneuverability.

Cruise missile defense systems typically rely on advanced radar systems to detect incoming missiles and
a combination of kinetic and non-kinetic interceptors to destroy them. Kinetic interceptors, such as
missiles, work by physically colliding with the incoming missile, while non-kinetic interceptors, such as
electronic jammers, work by disrupting the guidance systems of the incoming missile.

However, cruise missile defense systems face significant challenges, including the fact that cruise
missiles can be difficult to detect and intercept due to their small size and low radar cross-section.
Additionally, cruise missiles can be launched from a variety of platforms, including ships, submarines,
and aircraft, making it difficult to predict their trajectory and target.

Despite these challenges, missile defense systems continue to play an important role in deterring and
defending against cruise missile attacks. Advances in technology and increased investment in missile
defense systems are likely to improve their effectiveness in the years to come.

3.8 Cruise Missile Proliferation and Proliferation Challenges

Cruise missile proliferation refers to the spread of cruise missile technology, knowledge, and capabilities
to other countries and non-state actors. The proliferation of cruise missiles can pose significant security
challenges, as these weapons can be used to target military installations, critical infrastructure, and
civilian populations.

One of the main challenges of cruise missile proliferation is the difficulty in detecting and tracking these
weapons, as they can be launched from various platforms, including ships, submarines, aircraft, and
ground vehicles. Moreover, cruise missiles can be equipped with stealth technology and
countermeasures, making them even more difficult to detect.

Another challenge of cruise missile proliferation is the potential for these weapons to fall into the wrong
hands. Non-state actors, such as terrorist organizations, may seek to acquire cruise missile technology
and use it to carry out attacks on civilian populations or critical infrastructure.

 ULTRA CONDUCTORS

To address the challenges of cruise missile proliferation, many countries have implemented export
controls and sanctions to limit the transfer of these technologies to other countries and non-state actors.
Additionally, international agreements and treaties, such as the Missile Technology Control Regime
(MTCR), aim to limit the proliferation of cruise missile technology and related components.

Overall, cruise missile proliferation poses significant security challenges, and it is essential for
governments and international organizations to work together to prevent the spread of these weapons and
address the potential threats they pose.

potential benefits in a wide range of applications. They can carry electrical currents with zero resistance at
very low temperatures, which makes them highly efficient and allows for the creation of powerful magnetic
fields. Although Ultra Conductors are not yet widely used in industry due to their high cost, limited

Ultra Conductors are a class of materials with unique properties that have the potential to revolutionize
various fields of technology. They are superconductors that can carry electrical currents with zero
resistance, making them highly efficient in the transmission of electricity and the creation of powerful
magnetic fields. This property is due to the fact that Ultra Conductors can operate at temperatures much
higher than traditional superconductors , making them more practical for use in various applications.

One of the most significant advantages of Ultra Conductors is their ability to transmit electricity with

range of applications. Although challenges exist, ongoing research and development efforts continue to
explore their potential for use in a variety of fields, and it is likely that they will play an increasingly
important role in shaping the future of technology.
