Superconductivity: Shine a light
Michael Norman1
Abstract
Copper oxides superconduct at unusually high temperatures. New evidence from optical studies highlights the nature of the many-body interactions involved.
Throughout the history of superconductivity, optical spectroscopy — through the scattering of light by a material — has been a vital tool. It was the existence of a gap in the excitation-energy spectrum of electrons, first observed in optical studies, that set Bardeen on the path to the celebrated Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory of superconductivity.
