Kavli Affiliate: Katja C. Nowack | Summary:Proximity effects at superconducting interfaces, between different superconductors (S-S’) or between superconductors and normal metals (S-N), are fundamental to the performance of superconducting electronics, yet only few experiments have directly probed the spatial structure of proximity effects within a device. This is particularly relevant for transition edge sensors (TESs), […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:The discovery of superconductivity in square-planar nickelates has offered a rich materials platform to explore the origins of cuprate-like superconductivity. Experimental investigations however have largely been limited to the infinite-layer $R$NiO$_2$ ($R$=rare-earth) nickelates. Here, we construct a phase diagram of multi-layer square-planar Nd$_n+1$Ni$_n$O$_2n+2$ compounds and discover signatures of superconductivity for […]

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | Summary:This brief report examines the influence of Ga/N flux conditions on Mn incorporation in GaN. Mn-doped GaN layers were grown at 680$^circ$C by molecular beam epitaxy on a Ga-polar GaN(0001) template substrate under Ga-rich, N-rich, and no-flux conditions (i.e., Mn $δ$ doping). Mn incorporation was highest under N-rich condition, lowest […]

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | Summary:We report the first combined study of the low-energy electronic band structure of epitaxial Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ films using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT). The complete Fermi-surface topography of the near-Fermi-level bands is determined from in-situ ARPES measurements. To investigate the effects of substrate-induced strain on the band […]

To investigate the effects of substrate dependence on the band structure, Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ thin films are epitaxially grown on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) and (LaAlO$_3$)$_0.3$(Sr$_2$TaAlO$_6$)$_0.7$ (LSAT) substrates using […]

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | Summary:We investigate the low-temperature spin dynamics of epitaxial lithium aluminum ferrite (LAFO) thin films using broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy from 0.44 K to 68 K. The results reveal a crossover from conventional cubic anisotropy-dominated behavior at higher temperatures to pronounced linewidth broadening and higher-order anisotropy contributions at cryogenic […]

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary:We derive a universal bound on the efficiency with which "dissipated" work can generate distinguishable changes in a quantum many-body state at a finite temperature, as quantified by the quantum Fisher information. The bound follows solely from the analytic structure of equilibrium many-body correlators and is independent of all microscopic […]

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | Summary:A distinctive identifier of nodal intrinsic topological superconductivity (ITS) would the appearance of an Andreev bound state on crystal surfaces parallel to the nodal axis, in the form of a topological quasiparticle surface band (QSB) appearing only for $T < T_C$. Moreover, theory shows that specific QSB characteristics […]
