Universal scaling of tunable Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states across the quantum phase transition

Klaus Kern, Haonan Huang

Quantum magnetic impurities give rise to a wealth of phenomena attracting tremendous research interest in recent years. On a normal metal, magnetic impurities generate the correlation-driven Kondo effect. On a superconductor, bound states emerge inside the ...

Hybridization driving distortions and multiferroicity in rare-earth nickelates

Nicola Marzari, Iurii Timrov, Michele Kotiuga, Luca Binci

For decades transition-metal oxides have generated a huge interest due to the multitude of physical phenomena they exhibit. In this class of materials, the rare-earth nickelates, RNiO3, stand out for their rich phase diagram stemming from complex couplings ...

Spin wave spectra of single crystal CoPS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Luc Testa, Ursula Bengaard Hansen, Mechthild Enderle

The spin waves in single crystals of the layered van der Waals antiferromagnet CoPS3 have been measured using inelastic neutron scattering. The data show four distinct spin wave branches with large (>14 meV) energy gaps at the Brillouin zone center indicat ...

Machine-learning the electronic density of states: electronic properties without quantum mechanics

Chiheb Ben Mahmoud

The electronic density of states (DOS) quantifies the distribution of the energy levels that can be occupied by electrons in a quasiparticle picture and is central to modern electronic structure theory. It also underpins the computation and interpretation ...

Origin of metallic-like behavior in disordered carbon nano-onions

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics

Carbon nano-onions are a class of nanomaterials that can exhibit long electron spin relaxation times at room temperature and thus hold promise as potential building blocks for spintronics and quantum information processing devices. Despite first being synt ...

Hole-induced anomaly in the thermodynamic behavior of a one-dimensional Bose gas

Riccardo Rota

We reveal an intriguing anomaly in the temperature dependence of the specific heat of a one-dimensional Bose gas. The observed peak holds for arbitrary interaction and remembers a superfluid-to-normal phase transition in higher dimensions, but phase transi ...

Spin-dependent tunneling between individual superconducting bound states

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel, Haonan Huang

Magnetic impurities on superconductors induce discrete bound levels inside the superconducting gap, known as Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. YSR levels are fully spin polarized such that the tunneling between YSR states depends on their relative spin orient ...

Quantum phase transitions and the role of impurity-substrate hybridization in Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel, Haonan Huang

Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. They can be modeled by the largely equivalent Kondo or Anderson impurity models. The role of the magnetic ...

Optoelectronic and magnetic properties induced by atomic defects in two-dimensional semiconductors

Alessio Scavuzzo

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted increasing attention over the last decade owing to their remarkable mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Following the groundbreaking discovery of graphene, a plethora of other atomically-thin materia ...

Superconducting properties of MoTe2 from ab initio anisotropic Migdal-Eliashberg theory

Samuel Poncé, Feliciano Giustino

Molybdenum ditelluride (MoTe2) is attracting considerable interest since it is the archetypal type-II Weyl semimetal and a candidate for topological superconductivity. We investigate the superconducting phase diagram of two MoTe2 polymorphs using the ab in ...
