Project description
Chemical Design of Superconductors
More than 100 years after its discovery, superconductivity has remained an elusive phenomenon. This is hampering the development of new and better superconducting materials, required in the frame of a renewable-energy economy. This project investigates the hypothesis that superconductivity can be understood via the concept of chemical bonding. In exploring this conjecture, the aim is a theoretical framework from which new materials can be designed. The grant will fund one PhD student and two postdocs.
