Shape resonances in superstripes

Nature Physics volume 9, pages 536–537 (2013)Cite this article

Subjects

The significance of 'stripes' in certain high-temperature superconductors has been hotly debated for decades. Now a consensus is emerging that there may, in fact, be two networks of different stripes in which shape resonances play a key role in the superconductivity.

During the last week of May 2013 two hundred selected experts on unconventional superconductivity, quantum electronics and multiferroics gathered together for the international meeting, Quantum in Complex Matter, the fourth conference in the 'Superstripes' series1. The site was the island of Ischia off the coast of Naples, Italy, which offers dramatic spots in a complex, unique landscape that has hosted Roman emperors Caligula and Tiberius, and writers such as Henrik Ibsen and Maxim Gorky.
