Large impact of phonon lineshapes on the superconductivity of solid hydrogen

Phonon anharmonicity plays a crucial role in determining the stability and vibrational properties of high-pressure hydrides. Furthermore, strong anharmonicity can render phonon quasiparticle picture obsolete questioning standard approaches for modeling sup ...

Towards Scalable Electronics: Synthetic 2D Materials for Large-Area 2D Circuit Integration

Zhenyu Wang

In the past decades, a significant increase of the transistor density on a chip has led to exponential growth in computational power driven by Moore's law. To overcome the bottleneck of traditional von-Neumann architecture in computational efficiency, effo ...

Ultra-high quantum coherent and scalable superconducting circuit optomechanics, from topological lattices to quantum storage

Amir Youssefi

Mechanical oscillators can exhibit modes with ultra-low energy dissipation and compact form factors due to the slow velocity of acoustic waves, and are already used in applications ranging from timing to wireless filters. Over the past decade, novel ways i ...

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 ...

Electron-phonon driven unconventional superconductivity: The role of small Fermi energies and of nonadiabatic processes

Claudio Grimaldi

The very concept of high-T-c superconductivity has originated from the discovery of superconductivity in copper oxides by Bednorz and Muller in 1986. Soon after their discovery, cuprates were recognized as undoubtedly complex and radically unconventional s ...

Charge fluctuations in the intermediate-valence ground state of SmCoIn5

Nicola Colonna, Vladimir N. Strocov, Neeraj Kumar

The microscopic mechanism of heavy band formation, relevant for unconventional superconductivity in CeCoIn5 and other Ce-based heavy fermion materials, depends strongly on the efficiency with which f electrons are delocalized from the rare earth sites and ...

Density-wave ordering in a unitary Fermi gas with photon-mediated interactions

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Victor Youri Helson, Kevin Etienne Robert Roux, Hideki Konishi, Timo Zwettler, Elvia Colella

A density wave (DW) is a fundamental type of long-range order in quantum matter tied to self-organization into a crystalline structure. The interplay of DW order with superfluidity can lead to complex scenarios that pose a great challenge to theoretical an ...

Enhanced radio-frequency performance of niobium films on copper substrates deposited by high power impulse magnetron sputtering

Fabio Avino

We present a study of radio frequency properties of niobium films deposited on copper by two different approaches based on High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering, namely with a DC voltage biased substrate and with bipolar target voltage. Such approaches e ...

Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Scattering Study of Electron-Exciton Coupling in High-T-c Cuprates

Fabrizio Carbone, Thorsten Schmitt, Ivan Madan, Christophe Berthod, Francesco Barantani, Yi Tseng, Dirk Van der Marel

Explaining the mechanism of superconductivity in the high-T-c cuprates requires an understanding of what causes electrons to form Cooper pairs. Pairing can be mediated by phonons, the screened Coulomb force, spin or charge fluctuations, excitons, or by a c ...
