Superconductivity found in six-layer rhombohedral graphene
Original: Superconductivity and ferroelectric orbital magnetism in semimetallic rhombohedral hexalayer graphene
Researchers report in Nature that semimetallic rhombohedral hexalayer graphene exhibits both superconductivity and ferroelectric orbital magnetism. The findings show that a relatively simple carbon-based material, with just six stacked layers, can host interacting electronic phases more often associated with complex engineered systems, drawing attention from condensed matter physicists and materials scientists exploring superconducting and magnetic states in graphene multilayers.
Why now: A new Nature paper reports two unusual electronic phases coexisting in a simple graphene multilayer, exciting the condensed matter physics community.
