Magnetic field first kills superconductor, then brings it back to life
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Unconventional superconductors are poorly understood materials with exceptionally useful properties. One example is their response to magnetic fields. In conventional superconductors, applied magnetic fields suppress superconductivity by either breaking up the paired electrons that facilitate it (Cooper pairs) or introducing magnetic flux which introduce resistance when it moves through the material. However, in a few unconventional materials, competition between ferromagnetic ordering, where th
