Strain On Nanocrystals Could Yield Colossal Results

Friday, September 18, 2009 - 09:35 in Physics & Chemistry

In finally answering an elusive scientific question, researchers have shown that the selective placement of strain can alter the electronic phase and its spatial arrangement in correlated electron materials. This unique class of materials is commanding much attention now because they can display properties such as colossal magnetoresistance and high-temperature superconductivity, which are highly coveted by the high-tech industry.
