Key Points
- The synthesis of modified Lead Apatite (LK-99) with evidence of superconductivity at high temperatures has generated interest in the scientific community.
- There have been several attempts to reproduce the superconductivity in LK-99, but only partial successes have been achieved.
- The researchers in this study made efforts to synthesize phase pure LK-99 using improved precursors, following a suggested method.
- The freshly synthesized LK-99 sample did not show any signature of superconductivity at room temperature and was highly resistive.
- Magnetization measurements confirmed that LK-99 is diamagnetic at 280K, further indicating the absence of superconductivity.
- First principle calculations were performed to investigate the electronic band structure of LK-99, supporting the generation of strong correlation in the system due to Cu doping.
- The experimental results did not support the claims of superconductivity in LK-99 made by previous studies.
- Further characterization and investigation are needed to understand the potential for superconductivity in LK-99.
