Cooper-pair spectroscopy: A new window into the world of superconductivity
High temperature superconductivity and other unconventional types of superconductivity, such as topological superconductivity, are central topics in contemporary physics. At the heart of superconductivity lie the pairs of electrons, Cooper pairs, that are formed and condense into a superfluid state below a critical temperature Tc. An outstanding problem is the mechanism that underlies the electron-pairing in unconventional superconductors. Here this problem is addressed by developing a new experimental technique, based on the simultaneous photoemission of both electrons in a Cooper pair by a single photon. Cooper-pair spectroscopy was theorized 20 years ago but has so far never been…
