Research progress in synthesis of iron-based superconducting materials
铁基超导材料制备研究进展

Scientists have been engaged in looking for superconductors with higher critical temperature since the superconduc-tivity phenomenon was first observed in 1911. However, the high-temperature superconducting mechanism of copper oxides still remains a mystery to researchers. Therefore, scientists hope to find new high-temperature superconductors beyond copper oxides, which might administer them to decipher the mechanism of high-temperature supercon-ductors. In early 2008, Japanese scholars found that the crit...
