What is a supermaterial? A concise definition is by no means obvious, but a clue can be obtained from the topics discussed here.. In addition to superconductors, the reader will encounter magnetic effects of many kinds, including giant and even colossal ones, organic conductors, photoconductors, and even 400-year-old Japanese ceramics. Processing is a prominent pursuit in supermaterials research, especially but not exclusively of the superconductors. The papers on characterisation and theory break new ground, particularly in pursuit of new optoelectronic phenomena. The parade of new materials recently synthesised, often containing four or more elements, is surprising. But it is in it reporting of new applications that the book stands out: from circuits to sensors, supermaterials are making their impact on society.

On rare occasions, the coining of a new term brings new ideas to a field by virtue of a shift in viewpoint. A recent example is complexity, which collected together, from a core of deep results in mathematics and hydrodynamics, a clan of fields whose kinship had been revealed by the new term itself. More often such appellations merely follow fashionable trends. So it took courage on the part of the founders of SUPERMAT to promote their vision. Marcel Ausloos (Universite de Liege, Belgium) and Gilbert Vacquier (Universite de Marseille, France) have shown us a way to resonate as a new chord in materials science. As the first conference on supermaterials, SUPERMAT and its companion SMART 99 have begun to reveal new branches of research from the established pathways explored in superconductivity. At the conclusion of SUPERMAT in Giens, France, the participants were as energized by the exciting science that had been covered during the week as they were impressed by the French food, wine, scenery and hospitality. If the definition of a supermaterial is not obvious now-after the conference-it was certainly not obvious before it. Nevertheless, the conferees were drawn inexorably together by the conference theme. Perhaps it is not appropriate to try to understand this self organization, which surely is even more complex than the self organization of electrons in a high temperature superconductor, the theory for which still eludes us after 13 years! A clue to the working definition of a supermaterial can be derived empirically from the topics that were discussed at SUPERMAT and SMART 99. In addition to superconductors, they heard about magnetic effects of many kinds, including giant and even colossal ones that presumably trump super ones, organic conductors, photoconductors, and even four-hundred-year-old Japanese ceramics. Topics discussed were synthesis, processing, characterization and theory, and applications.

Tantalum-Hafnium-Carbide materials may plausibly include evacuated foam bubbles sandwiched between two plates, one of which is polished on the outside. Another plate morphology would include foam bubbles that are one way highly reflective on internal bubble surfaces facing a heat source. Another plate morphology would include some of the foam bubbles being evacuated with other of the foam bubbles containing a low conductivity gas of one or more atomic or molecular species. Still yet another plate morphology would include foam bubbles substantially filled with a low heat conductivity, high heat capacity, refractory material. Yet still another plate morphology would include foam bubbles substantially filled with a low heat conductivity, high heat capacity, refractory material but where the inner bubble surfaces are highly reflective on sides facing the anticipated heat source. Still another plate morphology would include a limited portion of foam bubbles substantially filled with a low heat conductivity, high heat capacity, refractory material but where the inner bubble surfaces are highly reflective on sides facing the anticipated heat source while the remainder of the bubbles are evacuated and may optionally but not necessarily include as subsets, some of the bubbles having heat source facing surfaces which are highly reflective. Still another plate morphologies would include diamond fiber, laminate surfaces, rods, strips and the like interspersed within the foam cores of foam plates, or lining the external surfaces of the plates for purposes of conducting heat away from the plates in a maximally rapid manner. Additional mechanisms to reduce heat loading on the plates include intra-plate and interpolate duck-works containing cooling gaseous or liquid effluents, and/or including thermo-electric generating materials to convert thermal energy into electrical energy. Another cooling mechanism would include a carbonaceous oily residue which is sweated in batch mode or continuous mode out of the heat source facing side of a plate. The residue having a high heat of vaporization and heat of ionization would result in significant phase change cooling analogous to common water based evaporative cooling.

This book includes an indepth but incomplete roster list of various classes of Tantalum-Hafnium-Carbide-based composite materials intented for intense light source reflection and thermal insulation. The author provides computed scenarios for which thick light sails (on the order of 0.5 kg per square meter) can enable light-sail driven craft to attain accelerations of over 0.1 G in the spacecraft reference frame thereby enabling truely extreme relativistic Lorentz factors and commensurate time dilations. On the order of 1,000 classes of composite materials are introduced.

This book includes numerous calculations for the many specific examples included within. I have included the many calculated examples to provide the reader with immediate justifications for the numerous concepts described. This was not done to belittle or talk down to the reader but rather to give the reader a clear sense of the plausibility for the propulsion methods and performance capabilities thereof. Interstellar travel at the many specific highly relativistic velocities contemplated in this bookand, in some cases, extreme vehicle massesis still a very controversial subject but nonetheless a highly mathematicalized and intelligible subject. My hope and intention is to thus clearly inspire and show the reader the plausibility of the concepts by providing the reader with proper evidence through his or her simple inspection of the formulas and values included in the computations. Some speculative physics is included, which is based on commonly presented theoretical constructs.
