German researchers have directly measured a superconducting gap in a hydride sulphide material for the first time.
Superconductivity in these materials is confirmed to be mediated by phonons.
High-temperature superconducting materials like H3S and LaH10 have attracted significant interest in the scientific community.
Researchers developed planar electron tunnelling spectroscopy to measure the superconducting gaps in H3S and D3S, revealing gaps of 60 meV and 44 meV respectively.
