Basic physics of solid materials

Abstract

Since the cuprate materials behave many curious properties, the mechanism that causes high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxide materials (cuprates) has been a controversial topic. To explain these curious properties, we must look out the physics what these materials include. In this letter, it is presented that there are the basic physics (1)-(9) in solid materials. I divide all solid materials into four categories, explain some properties of them qualitatively, and suggest some ways to turn a solid material into a superconductor. Particularly, this letter discusses the differences between the p-type high-Tc cuprate superconductors, the n-type superconductor Nd2-xCexCuO4, the BCS-superconductor similar MgB2, and heavy Fermions superconductors.
