Title

Electron Pairs without Superconductivity

Abstract

The electronic properties of most materials, including metals and insulators, are underpinned by single electrons. The exception are superconductors, with electron pairs as charge carriers. In my talk, I will present results from our newly developed electron pair microscope, showing that electron pairs without superconductivity exist in metallic titanium nitrite. Such “pair-​metals” might explain some of quantum materials’ most exotic properties.
