Superconductivity is a quantum property of materials entailing an electrical resistance of zero at very low temperatures. In some materials, multiple electronic bands are known to contribute to the ...

In copper-containing materials called cuprates, superconductivity competes with two properties called magnetic spin and electric charge density wave (CDW) order. These properties reveal different ...

Awards presented in 2003 to three Argonne scientists highlighted the excellence of Argonne's superconductivity program. Distinguished Scientist Alexei Abrikosov shared the Nobel Prize in physics.

Researchers combined high magnetic fields with X-ray scattering to reveal the connection between superconducting vortices (black circles), charge density waves (red wiggles), and spin density waves ...
