Matériau quantique sous pression
Une haute pression renforce la supraconductivité dans un matériau quantique et modifie ses propriétés. Des scientifiques du PSI ont révélé le mécanisme qui sous-tend cet effet.
Thermodynamic Evidence for Pressure-Driven Evolution towards Weak-Coupling Superconductivity in Pb
The thermodynamic critical field Bc provides direct access to the superconducting condensation energy, yet its pressure dependence has been studied much less extensively than that of the transition temperature. Here, muon-spin-rotation relaxation measurements ...
Experimental observation of short-range magnetic correlations in amorphous Nb2O5 and Ta2O5 thin films
We use muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (μSR) to investigate the magnetic properties of niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5) and tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) thin films. In both oxides, we observe a magnetic response at the lowest available temperature of 2.8 K ...
