The Cases For and Against LK99-Type Room Temperature Superconductors

This is a review of the arguments and evidence for and against LK99 type materials as room temperature superconductors. Case Against Cuprous Sulfide and Iron Contamination The claims against LK99 and LK99-variants materials as a superconductor is that cuprous sulfide has some transition temperatures that match up with some of the bulk LK99 readings. They …
