US, UK and Germany-based researchers discovered that an iron-based superconductor exhibits both superconductivity and magnetism below -258°C.
New Mechanism Enables Superconductivity, Magnetism to Co-Exist in Same Material Written by AZoMJun 2 2021 Physicists from the University of Bath, in association with scientists from the United States, have revealed a novel mechanism that allows superconductivity and magnetism to exist together in the same material. On the left: a crystal coated in gold—the gold coating allows the magnetic imaging tool to get within nanometers of the material’s surface. On the right: a magnetic picture of a segment of the crystal showing the vortices (dark holes) that were studied. Image Credit: University...
