Tunneling spectroscopy has played a central role in the experimental verification of the
microscopic theory of superconductivity in classical superconductors. Initial attempts to apply …

Abstract Conceptual,,, and numerical,,, models of nitrogen cycling in temperate forests

Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of the high-T c superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+
δreveals weak, incommensurate, spatial modulations in the tunneling conductance. Images …

The phase diagram of hole-doped copper oxides shows four different electronic phases
existing at zero temperature. Familiar among these are the Mott insulator, high-transition …

The dynamics of friction have been studied for hundreds of years, yet many aspects of these
everyday processes are not understood. One such aspect is the onset of frictional motion …

Granular superconductivity occurs when microscopic superconducting grains are separated
by non-superconducting regions; Josephson tunnelling between the grains establishes the …

The interplay of superconductivity and disorder has intrigued scientists for several decades.
Disorder is expected to enhance the electrical resistance of a system, whereas …

The electronic structure of simple crystalline solids can be completely described in terms
either of local quantum states in real space (r-space), or of wave-like states defined in …

The randomness of dopant atom distributions in cuprate high–critical temperature
superconductors has long been suspected to cause nanoscale electronic disorder. In the …

Explicit and implicit experimental evidence for charge density wave (CDW) presence in high‐
Tc superconducting oxides is analyzed. The theory of CDW superconductors is presented. It …
