Structural and electronic properties of SrCuO2+δ thin films

APL Materials 10, 101112 (2022)

The layered structure of superconducting cuprates is considered to be a key ingredient to achieve high superconducting transition temperatures. In this work, we investigate the possibility of doping the…

Quenching the bandgap of two-dimensional semiconductors with a perpendicular electric field

Nature Nanotechnology volume 17, 1078 (2022)

Perpendicular electric fields can tune the electronic band structure of atomically thin semiconductors. In bilayer graphene, which is an intrinsic zero-gap semiconductor, a perpendicular electric field opens …

Heating-Induced Performance Degradation of REBa2Cu3O7–x Coated Conductors: An Oxygen Out-Diffusion Scenario with Two Activation Energies

ACS Appl. Electron. Mater. 2022, 4, 3, 1318–1326

The degradation of the superconducting properties of REBa2Cu3O7–x coated conductors when heated above 150 °C is a topic of concern for any REBa2Cu3O7–x-based applications. This study makes it clear the…

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

Physical Review X 12, 021062 (2022)

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,…

Quasi 1D Electronic Transport in a 2D Magnetic Semiconductor

Advanced Materials (2022)

We investigate electronic transport through exfoliated multilayers of CrSBr, a 2D semiconductor that is attracting attention because of its magnetic properties. We find an extremely pronounced anisotropy…

A Heavy Fermion Zn-Deficient CaBe2Ge2-Type Phase with Rare Ce-Based Ferromagnetism and Large Magnetoresistance

Chem. Mater. 2022

We report on the hitherto unknown compound CeZn2−δGe2 (δ ≈ 0.41). We find that this compound crystallizes in a defect version of the well-known CaBe2Ge2 structure type. The phase forms in a Zn/In flux…
