Charge instability across all copper-based superconductors
Vancouver, Canada (SPX) Jan 20, 2015 - University of British Columbia physicists have detected 'charge ordering' in electron-doped cuprate superconductors for the first time, according to research published in Science. Charge ordering is a ripple-like instability at the electron level that competes with superconductivity and likely suppresses the temperature at which materials demonstrate superconducting properties. Until now, ... more
