Deciphering Electron Matter in Novel Superconductors

Deciphering Electron Matter in Novel Superconductors

Explore a comprehensive lecture on electron matter in unconventional superconductors presented by Laura Greene at the APS March Meeting 2014. Delve into the history of superconductivity, from BCS Theory to the discovery of cuprates, and examine the concept of electron matter. Investigate the pseudogap phenomenon in underdoped cuprates and the electronic nematic phase. Learn about predictive design rules for both conventional and unconventional superconductors, and discover the two distinct classes of superconductors. Gain insights into the potential applications of superconductivity in power grid engineering for the 21st century.
