Unusual transport properties discovered in a quantum metal
behave in the vicinity of such a quantum phase transition? Modern quantum physics, for example, is investigating these questions. Prof. Zhe Wang and his team have investigated the metal ruthenate (CaRuO3) [...] In physics, phase transitions, in which a material changes from one state to another, are a well-studied phenomenon. An everyday example is the freezing of water to ice at temperatures below 0 degrees [...] of a quantum phase transition at which the material is located. This offers an unconventional experimental approach to detecting and understanding quantum phase transitions. To the publication …
