Researchers Identify Nodeless Superconducting Gap in Nickelate Superconductors

1d ago· 3 min readenNews

Summary

Chinese researchers have made significant progress in understanding high-temperature superconductivity by studying nickelate superconductors. For the first time, they identified a nodeless superconducting gap and detected electron-boson coupling through examination of the electronic structures of (La,Pr,Sm)3Ni2O7 films. This discovery provides important clues about the hidden electronic behavior behind high-temperature superconductivity, which remains one of condensed matter physics' major unsolved problems.
