The noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo3Rh2N, with T-c = 4.6 K, adopts a beta-Mn-type structure (space group P4(1)32), similar to that of Mo3Al2C. Its bulk superconductivity was characterized by magnetization and heat-capacity measurements, while its micr ...
Robust quantum systems rely on having a protective environment with minimized relaxation channels. Super-conducting gaps play an important role in the design of such environments. The interaction of localized single spins with a conventional superconductor ...
The perovskite yttrium tantalum oxynitride is theoretically proposed as a promising semiconductor for solar water splitting because of the predicted band gap and energy positions of band edges. In experiments, however, we show here that depending on the pr ...
Many puzzling properties of high-critical temperature (T-c) superconducting (HTSC) copper oxides have deep roots in the nature of the antinodal quasiparticles, the elementary excitations with wave vector parallel to the Cu-O bonds. These electronic states ...
To trace the origin of time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) in Re-based superconductors, we performed comparative muon-spin rotation and relaxation (mu SR) studies of superconducting noncentrosymmetric Re0.82Nb0.18 (T-c = 8.8 K) and centrosymmetric Re (T ...
In materials where electrons interact strongly, a number of exotic and exciting phenomena arise. The mechanisms at the base of many of these phenomena remain debated, as strongly correlated electron physics represents one of the biggest challenges for mode ...
We use high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to map the three-dimensional momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in FeSe. We find that on both the hole and electron Fermi surfaces, the magnitude of the gap follows the distributi ...
Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted great attention over the last few years as potential light-harvesting materials for efficient and cost-effective solar cells. However, the use of lead iodide in state-of-the-art perovskite devices may dem ...
This thesis contains two major topics, the restriction of tunneling to only a few channels in the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and the interaction of local magnetic impurities with superconductivity. At a temperature of 15mK, the quantum back-action ...
By introducing a superconducting gap in Weyl or Dirac semimetals, the superconducting state inherits the nontrivial topology of their electronic structure. As a result, Weyl superconductors are expected to host exotic phenomena, such as nonzero-momentum pa ...
