Title: Combinatorial synthesis and high-throughput characterization of copper-oxide superconductors

Abstract

Fast synthesis and screening of materials are vital to the advance of materials science and are an essential component of the Materials Genome Initiative. We use copper-oxide superconductors as an example to demonstrate the power of integrating combinatorial molecular beam epitaxy synthesis with high-throughput electric transport measurements. Leveraging this method, we have generated a phase diagram with more than 800 compositions in order to unravel the doping dependence of interface superconductivity. In another application of the same method, we have studied the superconductor-to-insulator quantum phase transition with unprecedented accuracy in tuning the chemical doping level.
