Exploring the superconducting transition in ultra thin films

Wednesday, April 27, 2011 - 16:30 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers are using a precise atom-by-atom layering technique to fabricate an ultrathin transistor-like field effect device to study the conditions that turn insulating materials into high-temperature superconductors. The technical breakthrough is already leading to advances in understanding high-temperature superconductivity, and could also accelerate the development of resistance-free electronic devices.
