A guest lecture on superconductivity was held to provide an in-depth understanding of this fascinating physical phenomenon. The lecture aimed to educate students, researchers, and enthusiasts about the principles, applications, and recent advancements in superconductivity. In charge of the department welcomed the attendees and introduced Dr. D Sampurneswara Rao, Asst Professor, GDC, Repalle to the gathering and he began to explain the basic concept of superconductivity, discovered by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. He described how certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and the expulsion of magnetic fields (Meissner effect) when cooled below a critical temperature. Explained the characteristics and examples of Type I superconductors, which exhibit a complete Meissner effect and transition to superconducting state abruptly. Also ddiscussed Type II superconductors, which allow partial penetration of magnetic fields through vortices, make them more practical for high-field applications. Along with that he stressed on some important applications of superconductivity like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Particle Accelerators, Power Grids and Energy Storage, Maglev Trains. Dr. D Sampurneswara Rao's expertise and engaging presentation style captivated the audience, making the event both educational and inspiring.
