Cuprate superconductors are a class of materials that exhibit superconductivity at relatively high temperatures compared to conventional superconductors. This phenomenon has intrigued scientists ...

Unconventional superconductors—such as the copper oxide material, or cuprate, in the current study—work at significantly higher temperatures, sometimes up to 130 Kelvin. In cuprates ...

While atoms are known to wiggle very fast, dopants added to a cuprate superconductor can also cause atoms to meander very slowly. An SLAC study shows this process, called atomic relaxation ...

They studied the CDF using X-ray scattering in cuprate superconductors with a wide doping range, using the measured CDF as an indication of the QCP, indicating that the former may be a result of ...

Researchers used cutting-edge X-ray techniques to gain new insights into 'infinite-layer' nickelate materials.

These are often found close to phase transitions and out of equilibrium. We're studying the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity in cuprate superconductors and exploring novel high-pressure ...

We're studying the mechanism of unconventional superconductivity in cuprate superconductors and exploring novel high-pressure superconductors using diamond anvil cells. Electronic Structure We use ...

This spearheaded research in “high-temperature” superconductivity and the search for other cuprate-like high-temperature superconductors. If researchers can find a way to engineer materials to ...
