Noisy defects in the high-<i>T</i>_c superconductor Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+x, Published online: 01 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08518-1

The effects of dopants in high-temperature superconductors on the surrounding electronic structure give insights into their unconventional microscopic behaviour. Here the authors find a new class of defects that they identify as oxygen dopants whose ionization and local environment induce unusual atomic-scale charge dynamics.
