When it comes to layered quantum materials, current understanding only scratches the surface; so demonstrates a new study ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have proven that ...

The origin of this anomalous metallic state is thought to be a liquid-like state in which magnetic flux lines that penetrate into the superconductor move around due to quantum fluctuations.

so the magnetic domains themselves become larger and less mobile. At some point, when the magnetism becomes sufficiently strong, a quantum phase transition occurs, causing the magnetism of the ...

When one of these particles — in this case, a magnetic-flux quantum, or superconducting vortex — falls to the bottom of the deeper well, it will remain there and will repel additional ...

Even in the fuzzy, probabilistic world of quantum physics, though, there’s a limit on how small you can go. Both ...

A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID ... called the critical current (I c), is highly sensitive to the magnetic flux threading the SQUID loop. In a DC SQUID, the external magnetic ...
