Electron-phonon coupling plays a crucial role in the phenomenon of superconductivity, where resistance-free electrical conductance is achieved in certain materials. The interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations known as phonons facilitates the formation of Cooper pairs, which are essential for superconducting properties. One can categorize electron-phonon coupling based on its dependence on phonon displacement –
Photonic alloys, a unique combination of two or more photonic crystals, hold great promise for controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves in waveguides. While these materials have immense potential, they often suffer from light backscattering, which hinders the efficient transmission of data and energy. Overcoming this limitation is crucial for unlocking the full capabilities of
The anomalous Hall effect is a phenomenon that occurs in magnetic materials, particularly in ferromagnetic materials where electron spins are aligned. When an electric current flows through a metal sample in a magnetic field, it experiences the Lorentz force, generating a voltage perpendicular to the magnetic field and current. This effect, known as the Hall
In a groundbreaking development, scientists at the University of Nottingham’s School of Physics have devised a cutting-edge method to capture dark matter by utilizing a specially designed 3D printed vacuum system. This innovative approach aims to detect domain walls within dark matter, potentially uncovering some of the enigmatic mysteries of the universe. The universe we
