Inhaltsangabe:
  • It has been claimed that graphite hosts superconductivity at room temperature, although all efforts to isolate it have been vain. Here we report a separation method that uses magnetic field gradients to sort the superconducting from normal grains out of industrial graphite powders. We have obtained a concentrate of above room temperature superconducting particles. Electrical resistance measurements on agglomerates of sorted grains of three types of graphite show transition temperatures up to T$_{c{_{onset}}} \sim$ 700K with zero resistance up to $\sim$ 500K. Magnetization measurements confirm these values through jumps at \textit{T$_c$} in the zero field cooled curves, and by the occurrence diamagnetic hysteretic cycles shrinking with temperature. Our results open the door towards the study of above room temperature superconducting ill-stacked graphite phases.
