Question

Indium antimonide nanowires were connected to a gold contact and a material with this property in a 2012 experiment to produce Majorana (“ma-yo-RA-na”) zero modes. Materials with this property contain Bogoliubov quasiparticles. Pablo Jarillo-Herrero discovered that this property occurs with a twist angle of 1.1 degrees in bilayer graphene. Two materials with this property are joined by a weak link in a Josephson (10[1])junction. (-5[1])Unlike the retracted LK99, (10[1])YBCO (10[1])is a material (10[1])that displays this property at a relatively high temperature. (10[1])In BCS theory, this property results from the interaction between electrons and phonons, causing electrons to form Cooper pairs. Materials with this property expel magnetic fields in the Meissner effect. (10[1])For 10 points, name this property of materials with zero resistance. ■END■ (10[2]0[1])
