Application of scanning SQUID petrology to high-pressure materials science

Article Abstract:

Materials research has established a scanning SQUID petrology methodology to show low concentrations of superconducting phases in complex phase assemblages. The technique is used to research superconductivity properties of a high-pressure Sr-Cu-O system. Scanning SQUID petrology uses a scanning SQUID microscope. It is well suited to the study of heterogeneous samples and can be used to analyse magnetic and superconducting phases at very low concentrations.

Build your own superlattice

Article Abstract:

Artificial materials made from oxide building blocks are excellent ferroelectrics. Ferroelectric superlattice shows that such structures can be built with atomic precision and possess properties that surpass those of the individual building blocks.
