Interplay of superconductivity and magnetism in rare-earth nitride films KU Leuven
Superconductivity was given its name over 100 years ago because of its most obvious property: the loss of all electrical resistance below a certain critical temperature. This discovery was exciting, since it meant the possibility of energy transport without any losses. It took researchers over 20 years to realize that superconductors are more than just perfect conductors, they are also materials that expel magnetic fields, called perfect ...
