Controlling Superconducting Materials with “Pairing Glue”
Controlling Superconducting Materials with “Pairing Glue” What is the pairing “glue” for electrons in iron-based high-temperature superconductors? Scientists now have more clues. Excerpts and salient points ~ + Current theories suggest that magnetic fluctuations play a very significant role in determining superconducting properties and even act as a “pairing glue” in iron-based superconductors. “A metal […]
Means to Control Surface Conductivity in 3D Topological Insulator
Means to Control Surface Conductivity in 3D Topological Insulator. Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a means of controlling the surface conductivity of a three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator, a type of material that has potential applications in spintronic devices and quantum computing. 3D topological insulators are emerging materials that hold great […]
