Superconducting monolayer cuprate with a single CuO2 plane
Researchers have achieved high-temperature superconductivity in a monolayer cuprate with a single CuO2 plane, a breakthrough that could shed light on the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity. The study, published in Nature, demonstrates that superconductivity persists even in the ultimate two-dimensional limit, providing a new platform to explore quantum phase transitions and the role of dimensionality in correlated electron systems.
