Novel Magnetic, Superconducting Material Opens New Possibilities in Electronics (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers who sandwiched two nonmagnetic insulators together today announced a startling result: The layer where the two materials meet has both magnetic and superconducting regions – two properties that normally can’t co-exist. The discovery was made by researchers at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Science (SIMES), a joint institute of the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University. Here SIMES graduate student Julie Bert, the paper’s first author, adjusts imaging equipment used to make the discovery, which was published in the Sept. 5 issue of Nature Physics.
