Nouveaux états électroniques de la matière corrélée
Type of internship
Expérimental et théorique Description
One favored way to study unconventional superconductivity today is to investigate the preceding phase. Indeed, before they pair to form a superconducting state, electrons interact so strongly that they defy the standard theory of metals in a phase we call “strange metal”. Recent experiments have shown that strange metals host a scattering time between electron collisions that reaches a universal value known as the “Planckian limit”. To determine the origin of the Planckian limit, the aim of the project will be to measure and model the transport properties of unconventional high-temperature superconductors such as cuprates or more recently discovered nickelates under extreme temperature and magnetic field conditions.
