Sentences with phrase «superconducting electron pair»

* 5) Superconducting gap An energy cost to create a superconducting electron pair (Cooper pair).

Applying a brief voltage pulse to a control electrode allows the superconducting electron pairs to oscillate back and forth between the two locations, representing the one and zero of a digital system.

Not exact matches

Materials superconduct when electrons inside overcome their usual repulsion and pair up; that allows them to surf through a material's crystalline lattice without banging into atoms that would slow their progress.

By contrast, when graphene was coupled to superconducting PCCO in the Cambridge - led experiment, the results suggested that the electron pairs within graphene were in a p - wave state.

Yellow circles represent a pair of superconducting electrons (Cooper pair).

Now, the same researchers have found a set of materials which encourage the pairing of spin - aligned electrons, so that a spin current flows more effectively in the superconducting state than in the non-superconducting (normal) state.

This modification is causing the characteristics of the superconducting pairs of electron to vary in different directions, a signature of unconventional superconductivity.

As the electron density outside the quantum point contact is increased, the material becomes superconducting and the transmission of Cooper pairs — the particles that comprise a superconducting current — through the constriction was also studied in this work.

«The superconducting pair of electrons then leak into the topological insulator which also becomes superconducting,» explains Thilo Bauch, Associate Professor in Quantum Device Physics.

The devices are named after Brian Josephson, who predicted in 1962 that pairs of superconducting electrons could «tunnel» right through the nonsuperconducting barrier from one superconductor to another.

This boosts the energy level of electron pairs on the island, causing them to break their superconducting bond to one another and hop to a nearby probe, which then channels them to a detector.

They designed a set of tiny superconducting electrical components that enabled single electron pairs to jump between a tiny bar - shaped metal island and a nearby metal reservoir.

The ideas they worked on together are now known as BCS theory and provide a description of the superconducting state in terms of interactions between pairs of electrons.

At certain points in this cycle, Majorana quasiparticles emerged, arising in pairs out of the superconducting layer and traveling along the edges of the topological insulator just as the electrons did.

In superconducting materials, a strong attractive force acts between the electrons, which pair up and can move throughout the material without resistance.
