Chapter 161: The Relationship between Two Branches of Discipline
Thinking of that incident, Qiao Sen still feels very respectful.
An opportunity to publish in Nature can be given up just like that.
“At that time, I didn’t know there was a bonus . Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said it so firmly,” Xu You said with a smile.
Of course, if it is really necessary, Xu You can also ignore the bonuses and make a decision that is more beneficial to the overall situation.
"Okay, Xu You, continue working on your project. I won't bother you anymore."
In fact, Qiao Sen was also happy that Xu You could come back so soon.
After all, everyone hopes that Xu You can produce results in his own laboratory.
"Quantum phase change, quantum phase change...wait a minute!"
Thinking about the topic he had just worked on in Wang Xiangwu's laboratory, Xu You suddenly had a new idea.
Previously, Wang Xiangwu also said that there are many connections between quantum physics and condensed matter physics.
Xu You followed this line of thought and soon came up with a new direction.
"If we study the quantum phase transition of high-temperature superconductors in the superconducting state, will there be some new discoveries?"
Thinking of this, Xu You suddenly became excited again.
Xu You quickly found Qiao Sen again, wanting to tell him his latest ideas.
Although these are all topics related to studying the mechanism of high-temperature superconductors, they do require additional experiments, so I must explain them to Qiao Sen first.
"Teacher, I want to add a new experiment."
"A new experiment? What new ideas do you have?"
Then, Xu You explained his thoughts to Qiao Sen in detail.
After listening to Xu You's ideas, Qiao Sen also felt that they were very novel and there were indeed many areas to explore.
"Not bad, you actually thought of studying the relationship between quantum phase transition and superconductivity. It seems that your stay with Professor Wang was not in vain. He really made you think of the connection between the two branches of physics."
"Well, teacher, I just have a preliminary idea now. I am not sure whether there is any connection between them."
"Of course, we can't be completely sure before we get experimental data. So, since you want to study quantum phase transition and superconductivity, there are still some experiments that need to be done in a quantum physics laboratory. I'll help you communicate with Professor Wang and confirm the experimental arrangements."
After all, Xu You nominally belongs to the Condensed Matter Physics Laboratory. For cross-laboratory experiments like this, the two experiment leaders still need to greet each other first.
"Okay, thank you teacher."
After learning about this, Wang Xiangwu was very happy to help Xu You arrange the experiment.
Of course, necessary matters such as the funds needed for the experiment, the arrangement of experimental time, etc. still need to be determined.
Because of Xu You's special relationship between the two laboratories, the experiment was quickly confirmed.
In this way, Xu You began a new phase of experiment.
Xu You's main work is to measure certain areas of superconductors from a quantum perspective.
This kind of measurement work has never been done before.
After many attempts.
Xu You finally figured out the key to this experiment and achieved some breakthrough results.
In a certain region of an iron-based superconductor, critical quantum fluctuations dominate physical processes.
Xu You also used some new methods to accurately map the quantum phase transition deep in the superconducting state.
Finally, Xu You came to a new conclusion.
In some specific cases, quantum phase transitions coexist with superconductivity.
This undoubtedly provides an important theory for improving the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconductors.
After learning about Xu You's latest breakthrough, Qiao Sen once again praised Xu You.
Although every time Xu You advances a project, the process is full of twists and turns.
But in the end, Xu You always gets some satisfactory results.
“Yes, although there is still a long way to go to perfect the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconductors. But in just one semester, we have made three breakthroughs. Each of these results is enough to publish an article in Nature.”
After this period of scientific research, although Xu You was still in good physical condition, he felt like his knowledge had been used up.
It’s not that Xu You doesn’t have the energy to continue his research, but Xu You feels that he seems to have reached a certain limit.
With Xu You's current level of knowledge, it would be difficult for him to continue to make breakthroughs.
It was the end of the semester. Xu You did not plan to continue working on the project, but to organize his previous research results and prepare for the final exam.
At the end of this semester, the number of final examination subjects arranged by the school for Xu You was more than twice that of the previous semester.
This was also specially arranged so that Xu You could graduate earlier.
Of course, this is not a very stressful thing for Xu You.
Compared with scientific research, just reviewing before the exam is a very easy task.
Xu You also took this opportunity to master the basic knowledge of various subjects to make his knowledge more comprehensive.
Xu You's roommates could finally see him studying for the final exams in the dormitory.
"I heard that Xu You will have to take more than 20 exams at the end of the semester. Can he really review so many subjects? Will he fail?"
"Don't worry, with Xu You's ability, it won't be a problem for him to finish all the subjects in college. But if there are more subjects, the exam time may not be adjusted."
"Xu You looks as relaxed as reading a comic book while reviewing for the final exam. Look, he's almost finished another book."
Xu You himself also enjoyed this process very much.
For Xu You now, just studying this kind of basic subject will not even increase his accumulated fatigue.
It is a period of adjusting myself after a semester of scientific research.
Soon, the final exams for various subjects began one after another.
Compared with other students, Xu You seems to be much busier.
After all, Xu You took part in many more exam subjects.
Fortunately, in college, you can hand in your final exam paper 30 minutes after the start of the exam.
Xu You no longer has to spend too much time preparing for the exam.
And when the test results came out one after another.
Xu You's scores in every subject are still full marks or close to full marks.
These exams were indeed too easy for Xu You.
Such results also allowed Xu You to once again secure the first place in the college.
