Summary

The aim of the proposal is to bring new insight and understanding into unconventional superconductors, by visualizing the process of melting magnetic order and the resulting spin fluctuations (magnons) on the atomic scale.

This new understanding is valuable by itself and will help society because superconductivity can play an important role for energy transfer and storage, sensing, and (quantum) computing.

Work performed

We have already starting taking data on unconventional superconductors. We have found a new high frequency effect that allows us to better understand how electrons behave in these materials.

Final results

Our goal is to have gained significant new understanding. Understanding the materials is also important for technological process because because superconductivity can play an important role for energy transfer and storage, sensing, and (quantum) computing.
