RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 A first-principles study and some applied researches of high-temperature superconductors and other low-dimensional functional materials A1 CastaƱo Verde, Jose Lorenzo K1 High-Temperature-Superconductors K1 Bolometers K1 Nanofiltration AB This thesis comprises two parts: The first is a fundamental theoretical study of hightemperaturesuperconductors (HTS), addressing the energy balances involved in thesuperconducting pairing (research started under supervision of Prof. A.J. Leggett, instays at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA). The study presents anextension, to the case of HTS, of equations originally derived for simplesuperconductors by G.V. Chester that link the energy saved by thesuperconductivity with the structural properties of the materials. The second partaddresses applied aspects of various micro and nanostructured functional materials,including both HTS (optimization of superconducting devices, as bolometricradiation sensors, hybrid piezoelectric-superconducting films, and other) andelectrostatic nanostructured microporous (ENM) media for nanofluid filtration.
