Mapping behavior of charges in correlated spin-orbit coupled materials: Electronic disruption prods Mott insulator’s conversion to metallic state

March 10, 2014

Physicists have mapped the inner atomic workings of a compound within the mysterious class of materials known as spin-orbit Mott insulators. The findings confirm the properties that theorists predict could lead to discoveries in superconductivity, the topological phases of matter and new forms of magnetism.
