Ruthenium Doping Alters Electronic and Magnetic Properties in Iron-Based Superconductor, Study Finds
A comprehensive theoretical investigation reveals how ruthenium doping systematically transforms the electronic structure and magnetic properties of iron-based superconductor LiFeAs. The study demonstrates that increasing ruthenium content enhances metallicity while potentially suppressing superconductivity through reduced electronic correlations.
Electronic Structure Transformations in Ruthenium-Doped Superconductors
A detailed theoretical investigation has revealed how ruthenium doping systematically modifies the electronic structure and magnetic properties of the iron-based superconductor LiFeAs, according to recent findings published in Scientific Reports. The study employed advanced computational methods to analyze how substituting ruthenium for iron at various concentrations affects lattice parameters, band structures, and magnetic characteristics of the material.
