We provide a route to generate nematic order in a spin-1/2 system. Unlike the well-known magnon-binding mechanism, our spin nematics requires neigher the frustration effect nor a spin polarization in a high field or in the vicinity of a…
The possibility of enhancing the radiation power and monochromaticity by optically induced photonic crystal in the superconducting cavity is proposed and investigated. In such a structure, by periodically irradiating the stacked Josephson…
This study investigates the probability of threading in star catenanes under good solvent conditions using molecular dynamics simulations, emphasizing the influence of ring rigidity. Threading in these systems arises from the interplay…
Boosting superconductivity by metallic reservoirs is the essence of Kivelson's bilayer proposal. One layer provides pairing to the electrons, while the weakly coupled metal provides additional phase coherence to those pairs by mediating…
Much research effort has been devoted to interfacial or two-dimensional (2D) superconductors, but the underlying pairing mechanisms and pairing symmetries are highly controversial in most cases. Here we propose an innovative approach to…
Twisting two atomic layers produces a geometric moire pattern, but bonding-induced interfacial reconstruction fundamentally transforms this into an ordered dislocation network - a distinction obscured in weakly-bonded van der Waals systems.…
Nanowires are formed by indenting and subsequently retracting two pieces of sodium metal. Their cross-section gradually reduces upon retraction and the diameters can be obtained from the conductance. In previous work we have demonstrated…
The rich physical properties of multiatomic molecules and crystalline structures are determined, to a significant extent, by the underlying geometry and connectivity of atomic orbitals. This orbital degree of freedom has also been used…
The recent observation of superconductivity in infinite-layer Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$ thin films has attracted a lot of attention, since this compound is electronically and structurally analogous to the superconducting cuprates. Due to the…
In this paper we present a thorough first-principles based density functional theory study of the structural stability, electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of pristine and doped gallium phosphide (GaP) monolayers. The pristine GaP…
In a Kondo lattice system, suppression of effective Kondo coupling leads to the breakdown of the heavy-electron metal and a change in the electronic structure. Spin triplet superconductivity in the Kondo lattice UTe2 appears to be…
Anion doping offers immense potential for tailoring material properties, but achieving precise control over anion incorporation remains a challenge due to complex synthesis processes and limitations in local dopant detection. Here, we…
We report on the heterogeneous nucleation of catalyst-free InAs nanowires on Si (111) substrates by chemical beam epitaxy. We show that nanowire nucleation is enhanced by sputtering the silicon substrate with energetic particles. We argue…
Zinc Phosphide ($Zn_3P_2$) could be the basis for cheap and highly efficient solar cells. Its use in this regard is limited by the difficulty in n-type doping the material. In an effort to understand the mechanism behind this, the…
Cylindrical magnetic nanowires are promising systems for the development of three-dimensional spintronic devices. Here, we simulate the evolution of magnetic states during fabrication of strongly-coupled cylindrical nanowires with varying…
We consider the interplay between superconducting coupling and dopant impurity scattering of charge carriers in planar square lattice systems and examine physical conditions (doping level, temperature, local symmetry of coupling and…
Calculations of the effects of band structure on the neutron superfluid density in the crust of neutron stars made under the assumption that the effects of pairing are small [N. Chamel, Phys. Rev. C 85, 035801 (2012)] lead to moments of…
Robust control over the carrier type is fundamental for the fabrication of nanocrystal-based optoelectronic devices, such as the p-n homojunction, but effective incorporation of impurities in semiconductor nanocrystals and its…
In order to study whether the inter-band nesting can favor superconductivity arising from electron-electron repulsion in a three-dimensional system, we have looked at the repulsive Hubbard model on a stack of honeycomb (i.e., non-Bravais)…
Hyperbolic superlattices are used for sub-wavelength focusing, cloaking, and optical thermal management. Typically, these superlattices are constructed of layers of noble metals and insulators. Despite these systems displaying excellent…
