Practical evidence for strontium ruthenate superconductivity theory.(Superconductors)
Advanced Ceramics Report, January, 2005
Physicists in the USA and Japan have been the first to observe a form of superconductivity that has only been demonstrated theoretically.
Professor Ying Liu and co-workers at Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), together with scientists at Kyoto University, have produced practical evidence of so-called "odd-parity" superconductivity in strontium ruthenate, which was first predicted by theorists some 40 years ago.
A common feature of both low-temperature superconductors (LTSs) and high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) is that electrons in the material somehow overcome their mutual electrostatic repulsion to form Cooper pairs below a certain transition temperature. These pairs can then condense into a single quantum state and move without...
