How superconductivity arises: New insights from moiré materials
How exactly unconventional superconductivity arises is one of the central questions of modern solid-state physics. A new study published in the journal Nature provides crucial insights into this question. For the first time, an international research team was able to demonstrate a direct microscopic connection between a strongly correlated normal state and superconductivity in so-called moiré materials. In the long term, these findings could contribute to the development of new quantum materials and superconductors for future quantum technologies. Professor Giorgio Sangiovanni from the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) was involved in the study. His research is part of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat—Complexity, Topology and Dynamics in Quantum Matter—at JMU and the Technical University of Dresden.
