Enhanced electron doping on iron superconductors discovered

Tuesday, August 16, 2016 - 06:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have presented the possibility of unifying theories to explain the working mechanism of iron- based superconductors. Superconductors are a relatively new concept; they were brought to prominence in the late 80's when two Nobel Prize winners discovered a new superconducting material. The basic principle of superconductivity arises when a superconducting material is cooled to a fairly low critical temperature allowing an electric current to flow without resistance.
