Hybrid acousto-electromagnetic metamaterial superconductors

Recent theoretical and experimental studies demonstrated that an electromagnetic metamaterial approach is capable of drastically increasing the critical temperature Tc of composite metamaterial superconductors. This progress was achieved by engineering the frequency-dependent dielectric response function of the metamaterial. Here we further extend this approach by introducing the concept of hybrid acousto-electromagnetic hyperbolic metamaterial superconductors, which are projected to exhibit strongly enhanced superconducting properties due to artificially engineered broadband divergency of the Eliashberg electron-phonon spectral density function. Based on the developed approach, a hybrid acousto-electromagnetic metamaterial is proposed, which is made of LSCO/STO nano-alloy.
