Superconductor Tc prediction?
Conundrum, Fri Apr 13 2007, 11:48PMHi all.
Is anyone here aware of any simulation program which can calculate the critical temperature of a given homogenous material or crystalline structure of known elements?
Thanks, -A

Hey, if such a model existed than this would mean the mechanism of high temperature superconduction is know, which it is not to this day. I recently read a Science article about plans to build such a simulator by taking into account all the individual atomic forces in a finite element model. This software however would only run on supercomputers and it will be years from now until it leaves the research labs.

If there was a suitable simulation, then I'd suspect we'd have great high-temperature superconductors by now. :P
