Third Law of Thermodynamics Restored in Thin Films of Spin Ice
A newly published study reveals that the Third Law of Thermodynamics can be restored in thin films of the magnetic material spin ice. Thin films…
Experimental Evidence Shows Iron-Based Superconductors Exhibit S-Wave Symmetry
While using an instrument to measure the detailed superconducting gap structure of the ferropnictide superconductor BaFe2(As0.7P0.3)2, physicists discovered experimental evidence that iron-based superconductors fall into…
Iron-Based Crystal Superconductor Breaks High-Temperature Record
Superconductivity, a phenomenon that works only at temperatures close to absolute zero, has been proven to work at higher temperatures, as much as 70 kelvin….
