Accurate Measurement of the Gap of Graphene/hBN Moiré Superlattice through Photocurrent Spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. McEuen | First 5 Authors: Tianyi Han, Jixiang Yang, Qihang Zhang, Lei Wang, Kenji Watanabe | Summary: Monolayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) develops a gap at the charge neutrality point (CNP). This gap has previously been extensively studied by electrical transport through thermal activation measurements. Here, we report […]

Scaling of dynamical susceptibility at the onset of rigidity for disordered viscoelastic matter

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Danilo B. Liarte, Stephen J. Thornton, Eric Schwen, Itai Cohen, Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary: The onset of rigidity in interacting liquids, as they undergo a transition to a disordered solid, is associated with a dramatic rearrangement of the low-frequency vibrational spectrum. In this letter, we derive scaling […]

Momentum-resolved electronic band structure and offsets in an epitaxial NbN/GaN superconductor/semiconductor heterojunction

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Tianlun Yu, John Wright, Guru Khalsa, Betül Pamuk, Celesta S. Chang | Summary: The electronic structure of heterointerfaces play a pivotal role in their device functionality. Recently, highly crystalline ultrathin films of superconducting NbN have been integrated by molecular beam epitaxy with the semiconducting GaN. We use […]

The Mesoscale Crystallinity of Nacreous Pearls

Kavli Affiliate: Lara A. Estroff | First 5 Authors: Jiseok Gim, Alden Koch, Laura M. Otter, Benjamin H. Savitzky, Sveinung Erland | Summary: A pearl’s distinguished beauty and toughness are attributable to the periodic stacking of aragonite tablets known as nacre. Nacre has naturally occurring mesoscale periodicity that remarkably arises in the absence of discrete […]

Electrically tunable and reversible magnetoelectric coupling in strained bilayer graphene

Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | First 5 Authors: Brian T. Schaefer, Katja C. Nowack, , , | Summary: The valleys in hexagonal two-dimensional systems with broken inversion symmetry carry an intrinsic orbital magnetic moment. Despite this, such systems possess zero net magnetization unless additional symmetries are broken, since the contributions from both valleys cancel. […]

Quantum Oscillations and the Quasiparticle Properties of Thin Film Sr$_2$RuO$_4$

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Yawen Fang, Hari P. Nair, Ludi Miao, Berit Goodge, Nathaniel J. Schreiber | Summary: We measure the Shubnikov-de Haas effect in thin-film Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ grown on an (LaAlO$_3$)$_{0.29}$-(SrAl$_{1/2}$Ta$_{1/2}$O$_3$)$_{0.71}$ (LSAT) substrate. We detect all three known Fermi surfaces and extract the Fermi surface volumes, cyclotron effective masses, and […]
