Imaging the Cu-O Plane in Cuprate Superconductors
Thursday, August 1, 2002
Using a scanning tunneling microscope, we demonstrated that a single copper-oxide plane can form a stable layer at the superconductor's surface. This plane behaves differently when exposed at the surface than when buried inside the crystal, o ffering additional insight into the behavior of high-temperature superconductors.
