Tunable Superconductivity in BSCCO via GaP Quantum Dots

The enhancement of superconducting properties of high-temperature copper-oxide superconductors like B(P)SCCO remains a hot research topic in the field of superconducting materials. This study introduces GaP quantum dots (QDs) as a heterophase, leveraging their electroluminescent properties to enhance the superconductivity of B(P)SCCO. Experimental results demonstrate that the electroluminescence generated by GaP quantum dots (QDs) under an applied electric field induces tunable superconducting enhancement of B(P)SCCO. A reproducible trend of enhancement in the critical transition temperature (<i>T_c</i>) and depairing current density (<i>J_d</i>) is observed with increasing QD electroluminescent intensity, suggesting a positive correlation. This electroluminescence-induced enhancement dominates over the inherent impurity effects at optimal QD content.
