Transport Properties of Organic Conductors Strictly Connected to Internal Geometry of Crystals

Transport Properties of Organic Conductors Strictly Connected to Internal Geometry of Crystals

Recent findings by a team of researchers from Japan and the United Kingdom could prove essential in explaining the origin of superconductivity in organic materials*, and pave the way for the development of new organic materials. The origin of superconductivity has been attributed to magnetic interactions, but this has never been fully accepted because some non-magnetic insulators can become superconducting.

Researchers Uncovered Fundamentals of Insulating Behavior of Nickel Oxide

Researchers Uncovered Fundamentals of Insulating Behavior of Nickel Oxide

Owing to its simplicity in chemical composition and crystal structure, nickel oxide (NiO) is a model system for the understanding of a whole family of oxide compounds. However, even for such as basic two-atom compound the physics governing its physical properties can be rather complex. Indeed, a detailed fundamental understanding as to why this basic oxide is insulating rather than conductive has eluded physicists since the 1930s. Now researchers from the RIKEN SPring-8 Center in Harima have uncovered the fundamentals of the material's insulating behavior.
