7.2 Metallic conductivity: 7.2 Metallic conductivity: organic metalsorganic metals

• Characteristics of organic metals– Flexibility– Easy fabrication– High conductivity as metal

• Two main categories:– Conjugated system– Charge transfer complexes

Conjugated systemsConjugated systems• Organic solid are ususlly insulators• Polymers such as polyethylene are insul

ators - only C-C single bonds.• However, polymers have conjugated co

uld be electrical conductive such as polyacetylene.

• There are cis and trans for polyacetylene.

Doped polyacetyleneDoped polyacetylene• The polyacetylene has the conjugated lo

ng-chain which is potential for electrical conductivity

• Doping suitable inorganic compounds– Acceptor : Br2, SbF5, WF6 and H2SO4

– Donor: alkali metals– Conductivity as high as 103 ohm-1cm-1 in tran

s-polyacetylene can be achieved. – Synthetic metal.

Charge transfer complexesCharge transfer complexes• Two-component organic system in

which one is a electron donor and the other an electron acceptor– Donor – acceptor form separate,

alternating stacks– Electron transfer take place– conducting behavior

SuperconductivitySuperconductivity• At the end of 1986, superconductivity oxide La2-x

BaxCuO4-x and YBa2Cu3O7 were discovered. • YBa2Cu3O7 can be superconducting at Tc=92 K,

which is easily achieved by liquid N2. • Superconductor are characterized by two phen

omena. – Zero resistivity– Perfect diamagnetic.

SuperconductivitySuperconductivity- phenomenon 1, - phenomenon 1, zero resistancezero resistance

The properties of zero The properties of zero resistanceresistance

• Superconductor are zero resistance to the flow of electrical current below Tc (90 K, for YBaCuO)

• Above Tc (92 K, for YBaCuO), materials resistance gradually rises with increasing temperature and is normal metallic state.

• Resistance is from electron-phono collisions

The properties of zero resistanThe properties of zero resistancece

• Superconductivity could be explained by BCS theory but need modification.

• A loose associated electron pairs (Cooper pairs) more cooperatively through the lattice in such a way that electron-phonon collisions are avoided.

• More works need to be done to understand ceramic superconductors.

What is diamagnetic ? What is diamagnetic ?

Phenomenon 2, perfect diamagneticPhenomenon 2, perfect diamagnetic

Perfect Diamagnetic :Perfect Diamagnetic :The Meissner EffectThe Meissner Effect

• Superconductor exhibits “perfect diamagnetism” and expel a magnetic field (< Hc)

• The is called the Meissner effect. • Fig. 7.5 (a) ~ (f)

uperconductivityuperconductivity

• The superconductivity is lost when either following happened:– Heating above Tc– Appling the magnetic field higher than Hc.– Increasing the electrical current beyond Jc. – These are called critical temperature, critica

l magnetic field, and critical current density.

High-temperature High-temperature superconductor – superconductor –

Ceramic superconductorCeramic superconductor• All high-temperature superconductor are ceramics

– Challenges to produce wires, tapes….• Four categories of ceramics:

– YBa2Cu3O7 93 K– Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 110 K– HgBa2Ca2Cu3O10 134 K– Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 125 K

• Under high pressure, Tc might increase to higher temperature.

Type I, and Type II Type I, and Type II superconductorssuperconductors

• Type I superconductor– With increasing H or T, an abrupt

change from a superconducting to a non-superconducting state occurs.

• Type II superconductor– There is a transition state, so called

vortex state, or mixed state, between superconductor and normal metallic region.

Type II superconductorType II superconductor• In vortex (mixed) state

– Magnetic line are bunched together through vortex regions.

– No lateral displacement– Levitation , non-contact vehicle is possible.
