The illustration highlights the Kagome pattern which, named after a Japanese basket weaving motif, appears like an endless series of six-pointed stars. Each of these stars is made up of three interlocking triangular grids, with the sublattice forming the star points. (Image: Jörg Bandmann/pixelwg & neongrau)

Superconductivity theory proposed by Würzburg physics team validated in international experiment: Cooper pairs display wave-like distribution in Kagome metals, enabling new technological applications like superconducting diodes.

For about fifteen years, Kagome materials with their star-shaped structure reminiscent of a Japanese basketry pattern have captivated global research. Only staring from 2018 scientists have been able to synthesize metallic compounds featuring this structure in the lab. Thanks to their unique crystal geometry, Kagome metals combine distinctive electronic, magnetic, and superconducting properties, making them promising for future quantum technologies. ...
