Light-induced Meissner effect in optically driven YBa2Cu3O6.48 - EurekAlert


A team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg, Germany, led by Andrea Cavalleri, has developed a new experiment capable of monitoring the magnetic properties of superconductors at very fast speeds. Their study of laser-irradiated YBa2Cu3O6+x, a compound for which static superconductivity is only seen down to about −200 degrees Celsius, has been published in Nature.
