Expanding the family of iron-based superconductors by structural design
Superconductors
Detecting the fingerprints of Majorana quasiparticles
Dr Ireneusz Weymann theoretically investigates how Majorana modes effect thermoelectric properties of a quantum dot.
How do electrons differ from holes in unconventional superconductors?
Marcin Wysokiński and Jan Kaczmarczyk theoretically investigate the electron–hole asymmetry of d-wave superconductivity driven by the non-local effects of correlations in the generalized single-band Hubbard model.
Floquet topological superconductivity with ultracold atoms
Studies of the kicked Harper-Kitaev model reveal the coexistence of both Floquet
Majorana modes and quantum Hall chiral edge modes at the same sample boundary.
Understanding high-temperature superconductivity in Fe-based superconductors
In a recent Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter paper, Dr Zhaosheng Wang et al. studied the temperature dependence of the upper critical field (Hc2) and its anisotropy in (Li1-xFex)OHFe1-ySe (FeSe11111) single crystals by means of magnetotransport measurements.
