High-Temperature Superconductors, Kagome Metals, and Quantum Magnet Design
This community investigates the fundamental physics of superconductivity and magnetism, focusing on high-temperature materials, kagome lattice structures, and the engineering of high-field magnets for scientific and medical applications.
The research centers on the electronic structure and phase transitions of cuprate and iron-based superconductors, as well as the emergent properties of kagome metals and magnets. Significant effort is directed toward the development of REBCO coated conductors and REBCO tapes for use in superconducting magnets, including designs for dipole and quadrupole fields. The work also encompasses the study of charge density waves, spin liquids, and kinetic inductance in thin films and single crystals. Recent attention has turned to nickelates under high pressure, such as La3Ni2O7, and the integration of superconducting circuits with quantum computing platforms, including transmon qubits and neutral-atom systems.
The largest share of the community's output is found in niobium research, accounting for 12.9% of all niobium research, and 6,608 papers here. Yttrium and helium also represent significant portions of their respective element research, with shares of 4.2% and 2.9%.
The community comprises 41,816 papers, publishing most frequently in IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, Physical Review B, and Superconductor Science and Technology.
Recent work includes studies on the coherence times of 2D transmon qubits, the probing of the Kitaev honeycomb model on neutral-atom quantum computers, and the analysis of spin density waves in nickelates. Additional recent papers address the elastoplastic deformation of REBCO insert coils in ultra-high fields and the observation of emergent scaling of spin–charge correlations in pseudogap systems.
