Key Points
- Sukbae Lee et al. reported experimental findings on the atmospheric superconductivity of a modified lead apatite crystal (LK-99) at room temperature.
- LK-99 materials exhibit the Meissner levitation phenomenon of superconductors and have a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) higher than 400 K.
- The authors successfully verified and synthesized LK-99 crystals that can be magnetically levitated with a larger levitated angle than Sukbae Lee's sample at room temperature.
- The importance of crystallinity and proper Cu doping in LK-99 materials is emphasized, indicating the fundamental potential superconducting mechanism with copper-oxygen induced band changes in such phosphate oxides.
- The results suggest the true potential of room temperature, non-contact superconducting magnetic levitation in the near future.
