Ba2MnTeO6 was first characterised using X-ray diffraction and reported to show a small distortion1 from the idealised cubic perovskite which displays face-centred cubic arrangement of Mn2+. A recent report has asserted that this leads to a…
Semiconductor superlattices may display dispersions that are degenerate either at the zone center or zone boundary. We show that they are linear upon the wave-vector in the vicinity of the crossing point. This establishes a realisation of…
Results are presented for the elastic scattering of electrons and protons from the exotic He and Li isotopes. Comparison with scattering results from the stable He and Li nuclei allows for an investigation into the effects that the…
Magnetic instability in both ultra-pure and carbon-doped MgB2 films is investigated by magneto-optical imaging, transport and bulk magnetization measurements. In the carbon-doped MgB2 thin film, familiar dendritic flux-jump patterns were…
An intuitive chemical perspective on the LK-99 material is outlined and supported by DFT calculations. A hidden flat Lead band that exhibits instability toward charge density wave formation is exposed. Electron transfer between Lead…
Creating carrier reservoirs in layered compounds can effectively tune the carrier density, which often induces a variety of emergent properties. Based on solid-ion-conductor gating technique, we successfully induce superconductivity of 4.8…
Substrate strain mediated adatom density distributions have been calculated for Cu<111> surfaces. Complemented by Monte Carlo calculations a hexagonal close packaged adatom superlattice in a coverage range up to 0.045 ML is derived.…
In the conventional BCS description of a superconductor the kinetic energy increases in the superconducting state. We describe the observed decrease in kinetic energy by adopting a simple model of electrons whose elastic scattering rate…
Recent experimental studies confirmed that a long searched conventional superconducting phase in graphene can be induced via lithium deposition. However, the canonical character of the lithium-decorated graphene (LiC$_{6}$) superconductor…
We report neutron inelastic scattering measurements on the stoichiometric iron-based superconductor LiFeAs. We find evidence for (i) magnetic scattering consistent with strong antiferromagnetic fluctuations, and (ii) an increase in…
The evolution of the polymer structure during nanocomposite formation and annealing of silica-latex nanocomposites is studied using contrast-variation small angle neutron scattering. The experimental system is made of silica nanoparticles…
In recent years experimentalists have been able to clearly show that several materials, such as MgB2, iron-based superconductors3, monolayer NbSe2, are multiband superconductors. Superconducting pairing in multiple bands can give rise to…
The structural properties of MgB2 superconductors have been analyzed by means of convergent-beam electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission-electron microscopy, and theoretical simulations. The MgB2 crystal has been identified to…
Recently, unconventional superconductivity having a zero-bias conductance peak is reported in doped topological Dirac semimetal (DSM) with lattice distortion. Motivated by the experiments, we theoretically study the possible…
Manipulating vortices in non-conventional superconductors is nowadays a challenging path toward controlling functionalities for superconducting nanodevices. Here, we directly observe and control single vortex core trajectories with…
We show that strongly correlated impurities confined in an optical lattice can form localized, molecule-like dimer states in the presence of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC). By systematically studying the effect of the lattice potential on…
The effects of long-range anisotropic elastic deformations on electronic structure in superconductors are analyzed within the framework of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. Cases of twin boundaries and isolated defects are considered as…
We employ ab initio modeling to investigate the possibility of attaining high-temperature conventional superconductivity in ambient-pressure materials based on the known MgB$_2$C$_2$ and recently proposed thermodynamically stable NaBC…
We observed superconductivity ($T_{c}$ $\simeq$2-3 K) in Li$_{x}$RhB$_{y}$ intermetallics wherein $x$ and $y$ vary over a wide compositional range. The crystal structure consists of cubic unit-cell ($a$ $\simeq$ 12.1 \AA ) with…
The layered structure of tetragonal Ni(CN)2, consisting of square-planar Ni(CN)4 units linked in the a-b plane, with no true periodicity along the c-axis, is expected to show anisotropic compression on the application of pressure.…
