In this study, the effects of specific power (1–100 W/cm²), operating pressure (0.5–3.0 Pa), and voltage frequency (20–500 kHz) on film growth kinetics, morphology, and silicon entrainment were investigated to optimize magnetron spu...

Based on DFT + DMFT, we investigate the orbital-nematic and s-wave superconducting states of a hole-doped ${\mathrm{NdNiO}}_2$ superconductor. We emphasize the role played by the interorbital proximity effect in determining the orbital-selective electronic state b...

It is known that noble metals such as gold, silver and copper are not superconductors; this is also true for magnesium. This is due to the weakness of the electron–phonon interaction, which makes them excellent conductors but not superconductor...

High-Precision X-ray Measurements 2023 is a Special Issue of the journal Condensed Matter enclosing the scientific content of the 2023 High-Precision X-ray Measurements (HPXRM) conference [...]

We investigate spin-to-charge conversion via the Edelstein effect in a 2D Rashba electron gas using the semiclassical Boltzmann approach. We analyze the magnetization arising from the direct Edelstein effect, taking into account an anisotropic Rashba...

A current flowing through a one-dimensional Kitaev chain induces a spatial modulation in its superconducting pairing, characterized by a wavevector Q, which is known to induce two types of topological phase transitions: one is the customary band topo...

The present report focuses on the close interplay between condensed matter physics and solid-state chemistry in Nb-based binary intermetallic compounds. Over the recent four decades, these materials have been widely used in the development of a numbe...

Quantum materials have tremendous potential for disruptive applications. However, scaling devices down has been challenging due to electronic inhomogeneities in many of these materials. Understanding and controlling these electronic patterns on a loc...

Phase transformations induced by short optical pulses are mainstream in studies on the dynamics of cooperative electronic states. We present a semiphenomenological modeling of spatiotemporal effects expected when optical excitons are intricate with t...

We explore the equivalence between the low-energy dynamics of strained graphene and a quantum mechanical framework for the 2D Dirac equation in flat space with a deformed momentum operator. By considering some common forms of the anisotropic Fermi ve...

We studied relaxation processes in heavily doped two-dimensional Dirac systems associated with electron scattering by acoustic and optical phonons and by static disorder. The frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the relaxation func...

FeGa alloys with small additions of rare-earth elements surpass binary alloys in magnetostriction and plasticity. For this reason, they are considered promising magnetostrictive materials for various electrical engineering applications. The alloy (Fe...

We propose a new way to establish the existence of a superfluid phase in an exciton bilayer system by exploiting the properties of its collective modes. We focus on the density collective modes and treat them within Random Phase Approximation. By com...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) exhibits piezoelectric properties due to its asymmetric structure, making it suitable for piezoelectric devices. This experiment deposited Fe-doped ZnO films on silicon substrates using a dual-target magnetron co-sputtering system. T...

We introduce the concept of ergodicity and explore its deviation caused by quantum scars in an isolated quantum system, employing a pedagogical approach based on a toy model. Quantum scars, originally identified as traces of classically unstable orbi...

The spin Hall effect for the model Hamiltonian of graphene with Rashba spin–orbit coupling is analyzed by means of a recently derived quantum kinetic theory of the linear response for multi-band electron systems. The latter expresses the interb...

Multilevel charge pumping is a feature that was recently observed in quasiperiodic systems. In this work, we show that it is more generic and appears in different aperiodic systems. Additionally, we show that for aperiodic systems admitting arbitrari...

In this paper, we study the appearance of topological p-wave superconductivity of the type $S=1$, $S^z=0$ in a layer of adatoms. This unconventional superconductivity arises due to an anti-symmetric hybridization between the orbitals of the adatoms and th...

Temperature dependence of the lowest frequency transverse optical phonon (TO1) in a single crystal Substituted Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (SGGG, (001)) was studied using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy at temperatures between 80 K and 500 K. The co...
