Crystal structure aids in understanding of superconductivity mechanism
UK researchers say that studies they have conducted on the crystal structure of a compound containing copper and ruthenium have provided a valuable insight into hightemperature superconductivity. Specifically, their results have shown – for the first time – that the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity is actually coupled to the crystal lattice.
