Superconducting Dome Found in Nickelate Thin Films
Physicists mapped a telltale superconducting dome in nickelate crystals, a hallmark of unconventional high-temperature superconductivity previously seen only in copper-based materials.
Key Takeaways
- First complete superconducting dome mapped in nickelate thin films of La3Ni2O7
- Phase diagram parallels electron-doped cuprate superconductors suggesting shared physics
- Nanjing University team used atom-by-atom molecular beam epitaxy to build precise crystal films
