Practical Strategies for Enhancing the Valley Splitting in Si/SiGe Quantum Wells

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Merritt P. Losert, M. A. Eriksson, Robert Joynt, Rajib Rahman, Giordano Scappucci | Summary: Silicon/silicon-germanium heterostructures have many important advantages for hosting spin qubits. However, controlling the valley splitting (the energy splitting between the two low-lying conduction-band valleys) remains a critical challenge for ensuring qubit reliability. Broad […]

Nanoscale magnetic field sensing with spin-Hall nano-oscillator devices

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Yanyou Xie, Hil Fung Harry Cheung, Gregory D. Fuchs, , | Summary: In this work, we develop a nanoscale magnetic field sensor based on a spin-Hall nano-oscillator (SHNO) device. We fabricate constriction-based SHNO devices using Ni$_{81}$Fe$_{19}$/Au$_{0.25}$Pt$_{0.75}$ bilayer and use them to demonstrate quasi-DC sensing up to […]
