Superconducting Quantum Metamaterials: Superconducting Quantum Metamaterials from High Pressure Melt Infiltration of Metals into Block Copolymer Double Gyroid Derived Ceramic Templates (Adv. Funct. Mater. 23/2021)

Abstract

In article number 2100469, Ulrich Wiesner and co-workers create quantum metamaterials in the form of double-gyroid structured indium metal superconductors via soft matter self-assembly. High pressure infiltration of molten metal into a block copolymer structure directed ceramic template transfers the polymer derived architecture into a ceramic/indium composite with high fidelity. The resulting mesoscale structure is shown to dictate electronic behavior via modification of fundamental, quantum level characteristics.
