Iron arsenide superconductors – an example of the central role of crystal growth in solid state research
Research report (imported) 2010 - Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research
Summary
The synthesis of high-grade single crystals plays a key role in solid state research, because the significance of experimental results depends critically on the sample quality. We will illustrate this relationship by highlighting experiments on the recently discovered high-temperature superconducting iron arsenides.
