flaws in superconducting materials key to performance

They have observed Mott orbitals. In the ceramics the Mott-orbitals form BETWEEN the crystallographic layers (CL's): That is why one can also observe them ON the surface of the ceramic. When these orbitals reach a critical density, SC occurs by means of quantum fluctuations (QF). No acceleration is required; no increase in kinetic energy; and thus no force acting on the charge-carriers: No force means no gradient in potential energy: ergo SC.
You can also have Mott-orbitals WITHIN the CL.s. The so-called "gaps" that form within the phase diagram are NOT gaps at all, but a change in the conduction mechanism. Conduction can also occur WITHIN the CL's by thermal hopping (TH). When this conduction is replaced by TH BETWEEN the layers the so-called pseudogap is measured. When the latter conduction is replaced by quantum hopping SC initiates.
Congratulations: The mainstream bigots are slowly discovering what I have tried to publish during the past 10 years. Maybe another 100 years?
I had a suspicion that Hausdorff was involved somehow.By treating sets of neighboring parallel lines as part of a single "cluster," the team discovered that the patterns formed by the clusters are fractal in nature, meaning they fall between two dimensions of space, Carlson said.
I was thinking to pulse Johan on this one. Thanks for the post.DeltaV wrote:johanfprins Aug 24, 2012

The development of atomic power, though it could confer unimaginable blessings on mankind, is something that is dreaded by the owners of coal mines and oil wells. (Hazlitt)
