Cooper pairs found above superconducting critical temperature in pair density waves
Physicists with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Grainger College of Engineering have identified a new form of superconducting behavior.
AI Summary
Physicists at the University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign’s Grainger College of Engineering have discovered a new superconducting behavior in uranium ditelluride. Their experiments show that Cooper pairs can arrange themselves into non‑uniform patterns, forming pair density waves that persist even when the bulk superconducting phase disappears. This finding demonstrates that superconducting correlations can survive above the conventional critical temperature, revealing a previously unobserved form of superconductivity in the material.
