Sentences with phrase «called cuprates»

While the basis of conventional superconductivity is understood, researchers are still exploring the theory of high - temperature superconductivity in copper - based materials called cuprates.

In 1986, however, discovery of high - temperature superconductivity in copper oxide compounds called cuprates engendered new technological potential for the phenomenon.

Not exact matches

They proposed a new way to study a cuprate, one that no other group had tried: a powerful imaging technique developed by Davis, called sublattice imaging - which is performed using a specialized scanning tunneling microscope (STM) capable of determining the electronic structure in different subsets of the atoms in the crystal, the so - called sublattices.

In this research, Lawler and his colleagues focused on a member of the cuprate class of superconductors called bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide (BSCCO).
