    Superconductivity in Thin films of MoS2 can Survive under Extremely high Magnetic fields: scientists now have the explanation

    November 24, 2015, Categories  Physics, Technology/Electronics

    a) Maximum magnetic field Bc2 (normalized) at which superconductivity can survive versus temperature T. Filled circles are data taken from MoS2 thin films. Without taking into account internal magnetic fields generated by the lattice structure of MoS2, Bc2 cannot exceed 1. b) Taking into account the internal magnetic fields, the experimental data can be well explained theoretically.

    Superconductivity is a fascinating quantum phenomenon in which electrons form pairs and flow with 0 resistance. However, strong enough magnetic field can break electron pairs and destroy superconductivity. Surprisingly, experimental groups led by Prof. Ye and Prof...
