The mystery of Fermi arcs solved

This can be explained by magnetic effects.

Scientists at TU Wien have advanced the understanding of cuprates, a class of high-temperature superconductors. They discovered that under specific conditions, electrons in these materials can only move in certain directions, known as “Fermi arcs.” This phenomenon can be visualized by using laser light to eject electrons from the material, providing insights into the unique behavior of these superconductors.
