Chapter 286 The experiment was successful!
In Xu You's theory, the requirements for experimental conditions are quite stringent.
Therefore, we must always pay attention to various data to ensure that the experimental environment is within the required conditions.
If the experimental environment fluctuates, it is better to make timely adjustments so that the reaction can proceed smoothly.
Xu You stared at the screen, carefully observing the microscopic structure of the material on the screen.
In the screen, the growth rate of grains is not very fast, but it is relatively stable overall.
According to Xu You's theory, the growth rate of grains can be increased by changing the substrate in the experimental chamber.
However, this approach will place greater demands on the experimental environment and reduce the success rate of the reaction.
When doing an experiment for the first time, try to focus on stability as much as possible.
If the material preparation can be successfully completed, the material preparation plan can be further optimized.
A few minutes later, everyone quickly finished their meal and continued to devote themselves to the experimental work.
Cui Ying quietly cleaned up everyone's lunch boxes and did logistical work for everyone.
In fact, Cui Ying’s scientific research ability is also very strong, but as Xu You’s assistant, she has to take care of all these trivial matters.
After organizing the lunch boxes, Cui Ying followed along to observe the phenomena on the screen, wanting to learn more.
Cui Ying hopes that she can not only help Xu You deal with various trivial matters, but also provide some professional assistance to Xu You in scientific research.
After all, Cui Ying has an undergraduate and master's degree from Jilin University and a doctorate from Berkeley.
No matter where they are placed, they are all first-class talents.
At this time, the grains on the screen began to grow and take shape.
"A prototype has appeared, but there are still impurities, pores and bubbles in the grains. It is still a long way from the ideal material."
Such materials are not suitable for use as positive electrode materials for lithium batteries.
But Xu You was not discouraged by this.
Because Xu You knew that the reaction was only partially completed.
Next is the most critical moment.
"Adjust the experimental conditions and start the second phase of the reaction."
Under Xu You's command, everyone began to adjust the various parameters of the experiment.
When the experimental environment enters the hot isostatic pressing state.
The grains on the screen began to change.
It was seen that the various impurities, voids and bubbles that had just been mixed in began to gradually separate and disappear from the grains.
The quality of grains is constantly improving.
Looking at the changes in the grains on the screen, everyone knew that the experiment was gradually approaching success.
Finally, after the experiment had been going on for a while.
All reactions in the reaction chamber completely stopped, and the grains entered a relatively stable state.
"The grain growth is very good, which is basically consistent with the theoretical model!"
Several materials teachers knew that such grains should be the result they wanted.
"Sure enough, the results are exactly the same as those I simulated in my brain before."
Such experimental results once again verified Xu You's ability in spatial imagination.
Xu You was also amazed at his ability.
Sometimes, this is even more useful than software simulation.
However, this ability requires too much mental power and brain state.
Only when Xu You is in very good condition can he use this magical method to simulate various evolutionary processes.
After successfully completing the preparation of this material, everyone was .
This result proves that Xu You's idea is completely correct.
At this time, they finally witnessed Xu You's abilities.
Able to accurately predict the preparation conditions of materials through incredible calculations.
They had never seen such ability in anyone before, and only a few legendary scientists had such magical ability.
Perhaps this is what makes Nobel Prize winners in physics different.
"Thanks to all the teachers' efforts, this material has been successfully prepared. After this, we will also conduct experiments to optimize the preparation plan. Please continue to keep it strictly confidential. I will arrange for Teacher Cui to handle the project expenses."
When the project was launched, Xu You asked Cui Ying for help and signed a confidentiality agreement with several teachers.
After all, this material is likely to be used as the positive electrode material , and its future application value is unlimited.
Necessary confidentiality work must still be carried out.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, we will keep it strictly confidential. The cost is not a problem. We are very honored to be able to help Mr. Xu."
Carrying the prepared materials, Xu You returned to his laboratory.
Next, Xu You needs to test the materials.
These experiments can all be carried out in Xu You’s own laboratory.
In order to ensure that he could better understand the properties of this material, Xu You decided to conduct the experiment himself.
The first step is to test the superconducting properties of the material.
This is a property that Xu You must measure first.
Because at the beginning, Xu You used supercomputers to calculate various superconducting materials and thus deduced the existence of this material.
If even the properties of superconductivity cannot be met, then the properties of this material will definitely be inconsistent with the calculation results.
"It's time to start measuring resistance again." Xu You said with a smile.
From an undergraduate student to a university professor, Xu You has never been able to get rid of the experiment of measuring resistance.
With rich experimental experience, Xu You now has become familiar with experimental operations.
Because the predicted superconducting critical temperature of this material is only slightly higher than absolute zero.
Xu You needs to use liquid helium as a coolant to lower the ambient temperature to near its superconducting critical temperature .
After experiments, it was indeed proved that this was a superconducting material.
"The superconducting critical temperature is 3.8K, which is very close to the predicted value."
In Xu You's algorithm, the lower the superconducting critical temperature of a material, the more accurate the prediction of its superconducting critical temperature.
Afterwards, Xu You continued to conduct experiments on the complete diamagnetism and flux quantization of this material.
The final experimental results are all very ideal.
"In addition to being fully conductive, the material is also fully diamagnetic and has flux quantization properties. It's a standard superconductor. "
After completing the verification of the superconducting properties, Xu You felt more confident.
This once again proves the accuracy of Xu You's prediction model.
The research on other properties of the material is also modified based on that set of predictive models.
If nothing goes wrong, there should be no problem in predicting other properties of this material.
