We study theoretically a process of cooling electrons using a superconducting tunnel junction with a $\pi$ phase difference and a usual insulator or a ferroelectric in-between, and an array of such junctions with ferroelectric layers…

Ferrimagnetic Fe/Gd multilayers host maze-like stripe domains that transform into a disordered bubble/skyrmion lattice under out-of-plane magnetic fields at ambient temperature. Femtosecond magneto-optics distinguishes these textures via…

We report quantum oscillations in magnetoresistance that are periodic in magnetic field ($B$), observed at the interface between (La$_{0.3}$Sr$_{0.7}$)(Al$_{0.65}$Ta$_{0.35}$)O$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$. Unlike Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, which…

We derive the expression for the local Hall conductivity for systems that lack translation symmetry and use it to study the local fluctuations of the Hall signal around disordered patches in magnetic insulators. We find that the regime in…

We investigate the topological consequences of coupling chiral fermions to local, dispersionless phonons. This interaction induces a splitting of the phonon spectrum into three bands: a flat band and two bands with linear dispersion, all of…

In semiconductor hole spin qubits, low magnetic field ($B$) operation extends the coherence time ($T_\mathrm{2}^*$) but proportionally reduces the gate speed. In contrast, singlet-triplet (ST) qubits are primarily controlled by the exchange…

In electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR), a single spin is electrically driven in the field gradient produced by a micromagnet. While EDSR has enabled high fidelity gate operations in many devices, there are reports of unexpected…

Recent advances in nano-thermometry motivate the extension of the Landauer-B\"uttiker scattering theory as to include the non-local dissipation associated with charge transport. Such a program is implemented by describing the inelastic…

High resolution image sensors require electrical access to each individual pixel for signal readout. Such access is especially challenging for ultra-miniaturized pixels, for heterogeneously integrated sensing and readout layers in…

Rhombohedral multilayer graphene (RMG) proximity-coupled to a Haldane substrate provides a platform to investigate the interplay between band topology, layer number, and electric-field control of orbital magnetism. Using a tight-binding…

Persistent spin helices are a manifestation of symmetry-protected spin textures in systems with balanced spin-orbit coupling. They enable long-lived spin structures that are of interest for spintronics and coherent spin manipulation. The…

Single-electron spin qubits defined in quantum dots are used as building blocks of a semiconductor-based quantum computer. Readout in a scaled-up version of such a quantum computer is expected to rely on the Pauli Spin Blockade (PSB)…

Efficient transport of spin and orbital moments, and their electrical detection, are among the main challenges in spintronics and orbitronics. In magnetic insulators, these currents are mediated by magnons. In addition to carrying spin and…
