A new SUPERconducting LANDscape: using nanoscale inhomogeneity for enhanced superconductivity

Objective

Superconductivity is a truly quantum mechanical phenomenon, strongly dependent on the zero-energy density of states (DOS). This project aims to create and enhance superconductivity using nanoscale inhomogeneity to produce large DOS peaks at zero energy, thereby creating an entirely new, spatial and figurative, landscape for superconductivity. One recent example is twisted bilayer graphene, an all-carbon material that becomes superconducting due to a moiré structure producing large zero-energy DOS peaks. In this project we will establish superconductivity driven entirely by nanoscale inhomogeneity generating zero-energy DOS peaks, including in moiré structures. We will also use zero-energy DOS peaks to create a superconducting phase crystal in many different superconductors, generalizing findings from high-temperature cuprate superconductor surfaces. In the project we will continue to develop our state-of-the-art computational tools to self-consistently study superconductivity in large inhomogeneous systems at the atomistic level.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
