Exploring the elasticity of multiferroic materials

Mar 3, 2021 | MPQ, SQUAP

Multiferroics are materials that simultaneously display a ferroelectric and a magnetic order, which in some cases interact. The combination of these properties holds promises for future hybrid computing architectures that transform information from one state into...

A new milestone in the understanding of high-temperature superconductivity in copper oxides

Sep 2, 2019 | MPQ, SQUAP

By studying the phase diagram of a cuprate, researchers from the SQUAP team at the MPQ laboratory, in collaboration with researchers from the LPS (CNRS/Univ. Paris-Sud), LNCMI (CNRS) and SPEC (CEA/CNRS), have demonstrated the existence of a microscopic link between...

The link between superconductivity and nematicity revealed under pressure

Sep 21, 2018 | MPQ, SQUAP

Researchers from laboratory MPQ have clarified the link between superconductivity and nematicity, put forward by recent theoretical works, thanks to Raman scattering experiments under pressure. Surprisingly, they have observed a quick collapse of electronic nematic...
