Disorder is key to tuning a high-temperature superconductor

A&S Reports Shen’s Lab Finds Disorder Keys Iron Selenide Tuning

Researchers at Kyle Shen’s lab discovered iron selenide’s superconductivity is linked to crystal imperfections, not electron count.

Disorder is key to tuning a high-temperature superconductor

Superconductivity in iron selenide is primarily controlled by disorder in the crystal lattice, not electron count, Cornell physicists have found, a new insight for understanding high-temperature superconductors
