Breakthrough research uncovers hidden phenomena in ultra-clean quantum materials - EurekAlert


Researchers have reported previously unobserved phenomena in an ultra-clean sample of the correlated metal SrVO3. The study challenges existing theoretical models by providing new experimental insights into these unusual metals. The team demonstrated that high-purity SrVO3 exhibits unique electronic properties, revealing the importance of defect-free materials in studying electron correlation effects. The study's breakthrough was achieved using an innovative thin film growth technique, leading to the synthesis of SrVO3 with unprecedented purity, enabling detailed exploration of its true properties. Findings suggest a need to re-evaluate current theories on electron interactions.
