Electronic nematicity as a universal feature in cuprate high-temperature superconductors April 7, 2017 February 5, 2016 by Brian Wang Physicists at the University of Waterloo have led an international ...

Cuprate superconductors also appear to use Cooper pairs to make the current flow, but because the materials have a very complex electronic structure, the phonon explanation hasn't worked, at least ...

Now, researchers have observed that a necessary characteristic of a superconductor—called electron pairing—occurs at much higher temperatures than previously thought, and in a material where ...

Ever since their discovery almost four decades ago, high-temperature superconductors have fascinated scientists and engineers ...

Over three decades since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in ceramic cuprate materials, investigating the electronic states in cuprate materials to advance the understanding of ...

Tailored laser pulses can break electronic symmetry in Sr 14 Cu 24 O 41 cuprate ladders, enabling electron tunneling and stabilizing a metastable quantum state for several nanoseconds—about ...

Numerous symmetry-breaking electronic states have been theoretically proposed to explain the cuprate pseudogap. A two-dimensional ‘checkerboard’ charge density wave (CDW), may break ...

Superconductivity — the conduction of electricity with zero resistance — sometimes can, it seems, become stalled by a form of electronic “gridlock.” A possible explanation w… ...

UC Davis physicist Inna Vishik is among the third annual cohort of Experimental Physics Investigators supported by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Vishik, associate professor in the Department ...

Now the whole thing has been repeated at the next level of complexity up, which added the freedom for electrons to make diagonal hops across the matrix. And superconductivity appeared. “By showing ...

Ever since copper-based, or cuprate, superconductors were discovered in the 1980s, scientists have been trying to understand what makes them tick. The interest is driven in large part by their ...
