[0234] For example, from Caspar H. van der Wal et al. Quantum Superposition of Macroscopic Persistent Current States Science Vol. 290, 27 Oct. 2000, pages 773-777 is known for superconductors of the prior art that the previously in
[0235] The individual use of such superconducting quantum interference components from the prior art is known, for example, from V. Bouchiat Single Cooper Pair Electronics Applied Superconductivity Vol. 6, Nos 1012, pp. 491-494, 1998 and AB Zorin, Cooper-pair qubit and Cooper-pair electrometer in one device, arXiv: cond-mat/0112351 [cond-mat.supr-con], 19 Dec. 2001 and Michel H. Devoret and Robert J. Schoelkopf Amplifying quantum signals with the single-electron transistor Nature, Vol. 406, 31 Aug. 2000.
[0236] In contrast to the prior art, it is proposed according to the invention that the material of the first, second and third conduction line sections (W1a, W1b, W1c) is formed by a material that exhibits, at least in subregions, the border regions (G.sub.G), superconducting properties in the sense of the invention.
[0237]
[0238]
[0239] Instead of a conventional superconductor, a graphene stack with a suitably selected stacking sequence of the graphene layers, according to one of the previously described variants with superconducting properties within a boundary region or an interface according to the invention, is used. The graphene stack preferably exhibits superconducting properties at room temperature, at least in a partial region, the border region (G.sub.G).
[0240] The graphene layer package is applied electrically insulated to a carrier (Sub.sub.1). The graphene layer package is preferably structured by photolithography. The layer packet is divided by the structuring by a structured triplate microstrip line into a first ground plate (GND1) and a second ground plate (GND2). These ground plates (GND1, GND2) represent two of the three conductors of the triplate microstrip line. Between them there is a structured center conductor (ML) separate from them. At the input and output points (E1, E2) for the microwave signal, the center conductor is widened for adaptation to a coaxial connection cable. The center conductor (ML) consists of the material of the graphene layer package. The center conductor (ML) is preferably produced during the structuring of the graphene layer package. In the example of

[0245] Preferably, each of the metamaterial substructures (MTS.sub.i,j) exhibits at least one associated conductor (W.sub.i,j). This is preferably a superconductor in the context of the invention. Particularly preferably, adjacent metamaterial substructures (MTS.sub.i,j) are ohmically coupled to one another by direct contact, magnetically via coupling magnetic fields and/or capacitively via capacitances. The metamaterial substructures (MTS.sub.i,j) can have openings, in particular for magnetic coupling. The topological genus of its shape in supervision can therefore deviate from 0. However, the coupling can also be achieved, as in the example of
[0246] In the example of
[0247] Ultimately, such a metamaterial is an electrical interconnection of electrical components to an overall circuit. If at least a part of the connections between the metamaterial substructures (MTS.sub.i,j, MTS.sub.(i+1),j, MTS.sub.i,(j+1), MTS.sub.(i+1),(j+1)) are carried out as a phase shift introducing weak points (TU.sub.l,i,j, TU.sub.o,i,j, TU.sub.l,i,(j1), TU.sub.o,(i+1),j) as in the exemplary

[0251] As semiconducting structures, two contacts (K1, K2) are shown. It is known from the prior art that and how more complex semiconductor structures can be manufactured. The metallization stack is made more complex in order to carry out the micromechanical subsystems in the metallization stack in this example. It is known from the prior art that the implementation of micromechanical components can also take place in the substrate of the carrier (Sub.sub.1). For example, the metallization stack may comprise layers of metals (such as titanium, tungsten, gold, platinum, aluminum, iron, niobium, vanadium, manganese, etc.), insulators (such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, etc.). and/or of amorphous or polycrystalline semiconductor layers (such as polycrystalline siliconalso called poly) or amorphous silicon or monocrystalline silicon or other corresponding semiconductor materials, in particular VI-materials and/or III/V materials and/or II/VI materials). This layer stack can therefore, as known from the prior art, at least partially be generated by bonding different substrates to each other, in particular by bonding of glass and semiconductor substrates. In the example of
[0252] For example, for an example current excitation, the first conductor line (L1) can be supplied with an electrical current of a first current amount in a first current direction and the third conductor line (L3) can be supplied with an electric current of the first current amount in a second current direction. The second current direction is opposite to the first current direction. The first conductor line (L1) is then the power supply line and the third trace (L3) is the power return line. The first conductor line (L1) and the third conductor line (L3) may then be considered as a first coil and generate a first magnetic flux (B.sub.1).
[0253] The second conductor line (L2) can be supplied for example with an electrical current having a second current amount in the first current direction and the fourth conductor line (L4) can be supplied with an electrical current having a second current amount in the second current direction. In this case, the second current direction is opposite to the first current direction. The second conductor line (L2) is then again the power supply line and the fourth conductor line (L4) is the power return line. The second conductor line (L2) and the fourth conductor line (L4) may then be considered as a second coil and generate a second magnetic flux (B.sub.2).
[0254] The first magnetic flux (B.sub.1) generated by the first coil (L1, L3) and the second magnetic flux (B.sub.2) generated by the second coil (L2, L4) are modified by the invention conform superconducting border region (G.sub.G) within the boundary region (G.sub.FB). This changes the energy content of the fields. As a result, the magnetic fields of the first coil (L1, L3) and the second coil (L2, L4) exert a force on the rotor (LF). The rotor (LF) is suspended for the purpose of mobility on the one hand via a first spring element (S1) and a second spring element (S2) and possibly in the cross section of
[0255] By suitable implementation of the coils and of the rotor (LF) and/or of the at least partially superconducting substrate (G.sub.sub) with the border regions (G.sub.G) or interfaces (G.sub.F), it is possible to impress rotational momentums about the three axes of rotation of the rotor and/or translatory forces along the horizontal axes of translation. These forces can be mediated magnetically and/or electrostatically. Conversely, irradiating electromagnetic waves can interact with the rotor. This has the advantage that mechanical oscillators achieve a high resonator quality with suitable encapsulation in a housing in a high vacuum.
[0256] It is conceivable to provide permanent magnets, e.g. in the form of structured ferromagnetic layers, in the rotor (LF) and/or the stator (the substrate Sub.sub.1) in order to provide a bias flux without an electrical energy source.
[0257] For incorporation of the invention conform room temperature superconducting device parts by means of an adhesive (GL), the superconducting layer package, means the first substrate (G.sub.sub) with the actual superconducting border region (G.sub.G) in the boundary region (G.sub.FB), is attached on the rotor (LF) and thus indirectly on the carrier (Sub.sub.1) with the integrated microelectronic circuit. On this partial device, that is, for example, the rotor LF, which is elastically attached by spring elements (S1, S2) above said support (Sub.sub.1) with said exemplary Hall structure (HL), the superconducting room temperature first Substrate (G.sub.sub consisting of GB.sub.1, G.sub.B2, G.sub.FB, G.sub.G) is applied. This can be done, for example (and not be limitation) by gluing or clamping with a non-magnetic material, here the adhesive (GL). As a result, the micromechanical electrical machine in the form of the micromotor presented here with the rotor (LF) and the stator (Sub.sub.1) has at least one subdevice, the border region (G.sub.G), which is an electrical superconductor in the sense of this invention.

Glossary
Graphene
[0669] Graphite layer, benzene rings, etc. Graphene is the common name for a modification of carbon with a two-dimensional structure, in which each carbon atom is surrounded by three others at an angle of 120, so that a honeycomb-shaped pattern is formed. Graphite is typically composed of graphene layers in rhombohedral or bernary stacking order.
Graphene Layer or Graphene Layer
[0670] For the purposes of this invention, a graphene layer has, at least at one point, at least one benzene ring, better the concatenation of at least two or more than two benzene rings. For a better understanding, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia: Graphene is the term for a modification of the carbon with a two-dimensional structure in which each carbon atom is surrounded at an angle of 120 by three others, so that a honeycomb-shaped pattern is formed. Since carbon is tetravalent, two double bonds must exist for each honeycomb, but they are not localized. It is a concatenation of benzene rings, as is often the case in aromatic compounds. Although a single benzene ring has three double bonds in the representation of the valence bar formula, contiguous benzene rings have in this representation formally only two double bonds per ring. Therefore, the structure can be better described by representing the delocalized bonds as a large circle in the benzene ring. The bonding conditions in graphene are described in the graphene structure. Graphene can be described as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. At the edge of the honeycomb lattice, other groups of atoms must be docked, butdepending on their sizehardly alter the properties of the graphene. In theory single-layer carbon layers, graphenes, were used to describe the structure and electronic properties of complex carbon materials for the first time. However, due to a rigorous mathematical theorem, the Mermin-Wagner theorem and its variants, infinitely extended and generally flat strictly two-dimensional structures are not possible because they are demonstrably thermodynamically unstable. Therefore, there was general astonishment among chemists and physicists when Konstantin Novoselov, Andre Geim and their coworkers in 2004 announced the appearance of free, single-layer graphene crystals. Their unexpected stability could be explained by the existence of metastable states or by the formation of an irregular crimping of the graphene layer. In 2010, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their research, after having made a decisive contribution not only to the presentation of these systems,
[0671] In essence, stacking such single-layer layers creates the three-dimensional structure of graphite, which is structurally closely related to graphene. On the other hand, if one imagines the single-layer layers rolled up, stretched carbon nanotubes are obtained. Likewise, some of the six-membered rings can be replaced by five-membered rings, whereby the flat surface bulges into a spherical surface and fullerenes result in certain numerical ratios. For example 12 out of 32 rings, the smallest fullerene (C60) is created.
[0672] For the graphene structure from Wikipedia: All carbon atoms of graphene are sp2-hybridized, that is, each carbon atom can form three equivalent a bonds to other carbon atoms, resulting in a honeycomb structure also known from the layers of graphite The carbon-carbon bond lengths are all the same and are 142 pm (142*10.sup.12 m). The third unhybridized 2p orbitals are perpendicular to the graphene plane as well as in the graphite and form a delocalized -bonding system. Graphene thus consists of two equivalent sublattices A and B, to which the carbon atoms are assigned (Note: the sublattices A and B mentioned here do not correspond to the graphene layers A, B, C of the figures and the above description). The sublattices are shifted by the bond length a.sub.b from each other. The diatomic unit cell is represented by the lattice vectors a.sub.1 and a.sub.2 clamped. These point to the next but one neighbors. The length of the vectors and thus the lattice constant a can be calculated as
=|a.sub.1|=|a.sub.2|=sqrt(3)a.sub.b2.46 =246 pm
[0673] Graphene can be understood on the one hand as a single crystal, on the other hand as a giant molecule. Likewise, smaller molecules such as benzene, hexabenzocoronene or naphthalene can be seen as a hydrogen-substituted graphene fragments. Thus, when in this application graphene layers are mentioned, it also includes graphene segments and graphene fragments.
Microstructure Technology/Microtechnology
[0674] The microtechnology (also microstructure technology) deals with processes that are used for the production of bodies and geometric structures with dimensions in the micrometer range (0.1-1000 m). Structure sizes of less than 100 nanometers are indeed called nanotechnology. However, they are included in the terms of this disclosure by the terms microstructure technology and microtechnology.
Microelectronic Circuits
[0675] Microelectronic circuits in the sense of this disclosure are electrical circuits and devices that have been produced at least partially by microstructure/micro-technology/nanotechnology techniques.
Micromechanical Devices
[0676] Micromechanical devices in the sense of this disclosure are mechanical devices which have been produced at least partially by microstructure/microengineering/nanotechnology techniques.
Microoptical Devices
[0677] For the purposes of this disclosure, microoptical devices are optical devices which have been produced at least partially by microstructure/microengineering/nanotechnology techniques.
Microfluidic Devices
[0678] Microfluidic devices in the sense of this disclosure are in the broadest sense micromechanical devices which serve the transport, modification or other treatment of at least partially gaseous and/or at least partially liquid fluids and which have been produced at least partially by microstructure/microengineering/nanotechnology techniques.
Metamaterial
[0679] A metamaterial has a structure whose propagation-describing parameters for electric, magnetic, electromagnetic fields and waves as well as acoustic waves and plasma waves deviate from those normally found in nature. This is achieved by mostly periodic one-, two- and/or three-dimensional structures (cells, individual elements) of electrically or magnetically or electromagnetically or acoustically effective materials in their interior. Metamaterials can have a negative real part of the complex refractive index. In the transition from vacuum to such a metamaterial, waves can be broken beyond the perpendicular in the negative direction. Metamaterials can also have impurities that can be used for waveguiding.
[0680] The material used is at least partially a superconducting material in the sense of this invention as electrically or magnetically or electromagnetically or acoustically effective material.
[0681] In this sense a granular superconductor is considered to be a metamaterial,
[0682] A room temperature superconductor is a electrical conductor superconducting at room temperature (20 C.), wherein superconductivity can be detected, in particular, by any means described in the application.
