A ferromagnetic insulator (FI) attached to a conventional superconductor (S) changes drastically the properties of the latter. Specifically, the exchange field at the FI/S interface leads to a splitting of the superconducting density of…
Correlated flat bands and altermagnetism are two important directions in quantum materials, centred respectively on interaction-dominated phases and symmetry-enforced spin-textured states, yet both derive from lattice symmetry and orbital…
We theoretically analyze the surface density of states of heavy fermion materials such as CeCoIn$_5$. Recent experimental progress made it possible to locally probe the formation of heavy quasi-particles in these systems via scanning…
The method of the space dependent basis is applied to study electronic spinors in a crystal. The crystal in the momentum space is described by the Brillouine zone which might contains obstructions or degeneracies for which requires…
In our understanding of solids, the formation of highly spatially coherent electronic states, fundamental to command the quantum behavior of materials, relies on the existence of discrete translational symmetry of the crystalline lattice.…
When subjected to pressure, the prototypical heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CeRhIn5 becomes superconducting, forming a broad dome of superconductivity centered around 2.35 GPa (=P2) with maximal Tc of 2.3 K. Above the superconducting dome,…
We study spin-dependent electronic transport across ferromagnet/superconductor ballistic junctions modeled using tight-binding Hamiltonians with s, p and d orbitals and material-specific parameters. We show that by accurately modeling the…
The ability to locally apply and tune large magnetic fields is a crucial requirement for several devices, most notably for detection and generation of majorana fermions. Such a functionality can be achieved in Superconductor (S)…
We give a review of recent results on the heavy fermion superconductor CeRhIn$_5$ which presents ideal conditions to study the interplay of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. The main results are the appearance of domains of…
Electron diffraction through a thin patterned silicon membrane can be used to create complex spatial modulations in electron distributions by varying the intensity of different reflections using parameters such as crystallographic…
In a very interesting recent Letter\cite{berg}, the authors suggested that a novel form of superconducting state is realized in La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ with $x$ close to 1/8. This suggestion was based on experiments\cite{li} on this…
The effect of magnetic moments on superconductivity has long been a controversial subject in condensed matter physics. While Matthias and collaborators experimentally demonstrated the destruction of superconductivity in La by the addition…
The ground state of K$_{0.8+x}$Fe$_{1.6+y}$Se$_2$ and other iron-based selenide superconductors are doped antiferromagnetic semiconductors. There are well defined iron local moments whose energies are separated from those of conduction…
By using a molecular beam epitaxy technique, we fabricate a new type of superconducting superlattices with controlled atomic layer thicknesses of alternating blocks between heavy fermion superconductor CeCoIn_5, which exhibits a strong…
We evaluate the microscopically relevant parameters for electrical transport of hybrid superconductor-semiconductor interfaces. In contrast to the commonly used geometrically constricted metallic systems, we focus on materials with…
We demonstrate that certain domain structures can be created both in ferro- and antiferro-magnetic spinor condensates if the initial phase is spatially modulated. Meanwhile, spin dynamics of the condensate with modulated phases exhibits…
The superconducting diode effect may exist in bulk systems as well as in junctions when time-reversal and inversion symmetries are simultaneously broken. Magnetization gradients and textures satisfy both requirements and therefore also…
The possibility of surface enhancement of superconductivity is examined experimentally. It is shown that single crystal tin samples with cold-worked surfaces represent a superconductor with a surface-enhanced order parameter (or negative…
Dimensionality tuning is an important method to modify the electronic states of quantum materials. However, the mechanism of such tuning in heavy fermion systems and its connection with transport properties remain largely unexplored. Here…
The electronic transport properties of heavy-fermion systems were calculated based on a semiphenomenological approach to the lattice non-crossing approximation in the limit of infinite local correlations augmented by crystal-field effects.…
