Abstract

High-temperature superconductors: No pressure then The recently discovered layered rare-earth metal oxypnictides have reinvigorated research into high-temperature superconductivity. The first of these, found only a few months ago, had a transition temperature of 26 K. A recent paper in Nature reported an iron–arsenic-based material superconducting at 43 K with the application of pressure. Previously only copper oxides superconductors had beaten the 40 K barrier. Now Chen et al. report bulk superconductivity in the samarium–arsenide oxide SmFeAsO1−xFx with a transition temperature of 43 K without this pressure.
