Superconducting materials are similar to the carpool lane in a congested interstate. Like commuters who ride together, ...

Three exotic new species of superconductivity were spotted last year, illustrating the myriad ways electrons can join together to form a frictionless quantum soup.

It was found that the presence of a magnetic field influences the formation of Cooper pairs, which are essential for superconductivity. The research indicates a weak first-order transition from ...

second-order phase transitions & the Ginzburg-Landau calculation for magnetic flux penetration WEEK 5 Microscopic theory of superconductivity, concepts of the energy gap and Cooper pairs, introduction ...

In conventional superconductors, such as most Type I superconductors, the superconductivity is explained by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. According to BCS theory, electrons in a ...

The odd superconductivity found in layered graphene may bring us closer to understanding room-temperature superconductors ...

play a crucial role in the formation of Cooper pairs, which are essential for superconductivity. Advanced techniques, such as scanning tunneling microscopy, have been employed to visualize these ...

The team explored two consequences of the pair spin-orbit interaction. First, this coupling induces p-wave superconducting pairing, where Cooper pairs—pairs of electrons that move together ...

Rice University physicist Emilia Morosan is part of an international research collaboration that has been awarded multimillion-dollar funding from The Kavli Foundation to develop and test ...

One of the hallmarks of superconductivity is the Meissner effect, where a superconducting material expels magnetic fields from its interior. This phenomenon occurs because the superconducting state is ...

Normally, Cooper pairs help a material conduct electricity without resistance (superconductivity), but with enough disorder, the Cooper pairs start to compete with each other. This results in a ...
