Quantum Metallurgy: Electron Crystals Deform and Melt

The team found melting-like defects in charge density waves across 28 studies, with possible uses in neuromorphic computing and superconductors.

Summary by Phys.org
In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns that can deform and melt, opening new pathways for neuromorphic computing and superconductors, University of Michigan Engineering researchers have found.

Quantum Metallurgy: How Electron Crystals Bend and Melt

In a groundbreaking exploration that blurs the boundary between classical materials science and quantum physics, researchers from the University of Michigan Engineering have revealed an elusive behavior of electron crystals—structures otherwise known as charge density waves (CDWs)—demonstrating their ability to undergo a melting process akin to that of conventional solids. This revelation not only augments […]
