One quantum material, two superconducting states: Stretching helps explain conflicting experiments
Source: Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories · Published
Unconventional superconductors can host unusual electronic states, but understanding what drives their superconductivity becomes difficult when different forms of order coexist. The kagome metal CsV3Sb5 has become a particularly debated example.
