The researchers applied molecular beam epitaxy to grow the KTaO3 thin films and developed a high-quality superconductive material with limited flaws.
However, many conventional superconductors lose their superconductive functions when exposed to magnetic fields; as a result, it limits their potential.
“Specifically, we found that KTaO3 retains superconductivity even when exposed to magnetic fields up to 25 Tesla. This fundamental work is a necessary step toward the development of any potential applications for the material,” added Ahadi.which effectively constructed two-dimensional thin films of the superconductive material on a substrate. Researchers laid down molecule-thin layers on top of one another with atomic-level precision, a statement explained.
A statement by the researchers said that upon conducting a characterization, they found that KTaO3 thin films remained superconductive when exposed to magnetic fields of up to 25 Tesla. Such a magnetic field can only be generated in the United States at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, where the material was tested.
