Title: Iron-based superconductors: Unity or diversity?

Journal Article · · Nature Materials
OSTI ID:972676

Superconductivity is among the most fascinating properties that a material can show. On the fundamental level, it represents a direct, macroscopic manifestation of coherent quantum mechanical behaviour, and its potential practical importance is almost unlimited, especially if new superconductors can be synthesized or discovered with still higher transition temperatures, Tc.
