Researchers identify new type of superconductor | Cornell Chronicle – Cornell Chronicle
The history of superconducting materials has been a tale of two types: s-wave and d-wave. Now, Cornell researchers have discovered a possible third type: g-wave.

Until now, the history of superconducting materials has been a tale of two types: s-wave and d-wave.
Now, Cornell researchers led by Brad Ramshaw, the Dick & Dale Reis Johnson Assistant Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences have discovered a possible third type: g-wave.
Their paper, Thermodynamic Evidence for a Two-Component Superconducting Order Parameter in Sr2RuO4, published Sept. 21 in Nature Physics. The lead author is doctoral student Sayak Ghosh, M.S. 19.
