=**What is Transition Temperature?**=

DEFINITION: Transition temperature is the temperature at which a solid changes state due to a change in temperature.

complete disappearance of electrical resistance in various solids when they are cooled below a characteristic temperature. This temperature, called the transition temperature, varies for different materials but generally is below 20 K (−253 °C). Superconductivity is the total disappearance of electrical resistance below a definite temperature called the transition temperature. Because niobium has the highest transition temperature (9.3 K [−264° C, or −443° F]), among metals, niobium alloys are the most practical choice for superconducting applications. Niobium-titanium, niobium-zirconium, and niobium-tin alloys are... The vast majority of the known superconductors have transition temperatures that lie between 1 K and 10 K. Of the chemical elements, tungsten has the lowest transition temperature, 0.015 K, and niobium the highest, 9.2 K. The transition temperature is usually very sensitive to the presence of magnetic impurities. A few parts per million of manganese in zinc, for example, lowers the transition... //in//[| **conductive ceramics: Superconductors**] ) Superconductivity is the complete disappearance of electric resistance in materials that are cooled to extremely low temperatures. The temperature at which resistance ceases is referred to as the transition temperature, or critical temperature (Tc). Tc is usually measured in degrees kelvin (K)—0 K being absolute zero, the temperature at which all atomic... > > Link: [|http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/602809/transition-temperature#tab=active~checked%2Citems~checked&title=transition%20temperature%20--%20Britannica%20Online%20Encyclopedia] > -Kristie

kristie: I have no idea what you're talking about (in a nice way). I think that transition temperature is a the temperature when substances changes state. However is it solid changing into a liquid or gas? I dont really understand it. im continuing to do research. ive spent soo long and all ive gotten is to use a spectrometor anymore ideas? lowell.
