Interview with: Profs Jorge Hirsch, Brian Maple and Frank Marsiglio.
Laurie Winkless speaks to Professors Jorge Hirsch and Brian Maple from the University of California, San Diego, and Prof Frank Marsiglio from the University of Alberta; guest editors of the Physica C special issue “Superconducting Materials: Conventional, Unconventional and Undetermined” .
Turning off the superconductivity in a cuprate superconductor with light or magnetism produces a normal state with very similar fundamental physics.
Combining a thin-film superconducor with a thin-film topological insulator offers a novel way to explore topological superconductivity.
Researchers have discovered a complex landscape of electronic states that can co-exist on a novel non-magnetic kagome superconductor.
