A new iron key for high temperature superconductivity
Researchers at IRIG are conducting neutron scattering studies on iron-nickel-arsenic pnicture, a superconducting material at lower temperatures than those conventionally encountered. They have succeeded in probing this compound at the atomic scale, and their results could lead to the proposal of a common mechanism for all superconducting materials.
