Here, we briefly review evidence for local pairs from our experiments on thin films of La (2-x) Sr (x) CuO (4), synthesized by atomic layer-by-layer molecular beam epitaxy (ALL-MBE).High-temperature superconductivityIonic liquidQuantum critical pointCuprateThin filmstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
