Tunneling processes through magnetic impurities on superconducting surfaces: Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states and the Josephson effect

Magnetic impurities generate a wealth of phenomena on surfaces. On metals, conducting electrons screen the magnetic moment giving rise to the Kondo effect. On superconductors, the Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states emerge inside the superconducting gap due to t ...

Long‐Lived Photocharges in Supramoelcular Polymers of Low‐Bandgap Chromophores

Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Holger Frauenrath, Daniel Görl, Regina Judith Hafner

Photoinduced charge separation in supramolecular aggregates of π‐conjugated molecules is a fundamental photophysical process, and a key criterion for the development of advanced organic electronics materials. Here, we report on the self‐assembly of novel l ...

Emergent bound states and impurity pairs in chemically doped Shastry-Sutherland system

Frédéric Mila

Impurities often play a defining role in the ground states of frustrated quantum magnets. Studies of their effects are crucial in understanding of the phase diagram in these materials. SrCu2(BO3)(2), an experimental realization of the Shastry-Sutherland (S ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

Probing Alloy Formation Using Different Excitonic Species: The Particular Case of InGaN

Nicolas Grandjean, Raphaël Butté, Gordon Jens Callsen

Since the early 1960s, alloys are commonly grouped into two classes that feature either bound states in the band gap (I) or additional, nondiscrete band states (II). Consequently, one can observe either excitons bound to isoelectronic impurities or the typ ...

Doping-free complementary inverter enabled by 2D WSe2 electrostatically-doped reconfigurable transistors

Giovanni De Micheli, Giovanni Vincenzo Resta, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon

Amongst 2-dimensional (2D) semiconductors of the transition-metal di-chalcogenide (TMDC) family [1], tungsten diselenide (WSe2) has shown ambipolar behavior [2], [3] coupled with high carrier mobility [4] and CMOS-like devices have been experimentally demo ...

First-Principles Statistical Mechanics of Multicomponent Crystals

Anirudh Raju Natarajan

The importance of configurational, vibrational, and electronic excitations in crystalline solids of technological interest makes a rigorous treatment of thermal excitations an essential ingredient in first-principles models of materials behavior. This cont ...

Anomalous Hall and Nernst Effects in Co2TiSn and Co2Ti0.6V0.4Sn Heusler Thin Films

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Sa Tu, Junfeng Hu, Yao Zhang

Magnetotransport (magnetoresistance and anomalous Hall effect) and thermoelectric (Seebeck and anomalous Nernst effect) effects are investigated on epitaxially grown Co2TiSn and Co2Ti0.6V0.4Sn Heusler thin films. An anomalous Nernst coefficient up to 1.8 m ...

Strength and fracture of silicon second-phase particles in aluminium casting alloys

Martin Guillermo Mueller

The mechanical behaviour of metallic materials that have a microstructure composed of a brittle phase embedded in a ductile matrix is dictated by a complex interplay of factors such as local phase properties, cohesive properties, geometrical characteristic ...
