Electronic map reveals ‘rules of the road’ in superconductor

Science Daily  December 6, 2019
An international team of researchers (USA – Rice University, UC Berkeley, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stanford University, China) has developed a band structure map from the data gathered from measurements of a single crystal of iron selenide as it was cooled to the point of superconductivity. They are making observations of different types of exotic materials and figuring out the quantum mechanical rules that govern electron behavior in those materials. The electronic structure helps deciding if a material will be a good conductor or a good insulator or a superconductor…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
