2.5 MILLION ERC ADVANCED GRANT TO STUDY SUPERCONDUCTIVITY UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
Nigel Hussey, HFML Nijmegen.Experimental physicist Nigel Hussey has received a prestigious € 2.5 million grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to study the flow of charge in exotic metals and superconductors under extreme conditions. The ultimate goal is to understand superconductivity and create a pathway towards room-temperature superconductors.Hussey: ”This [...]

PRESSURE TUNING OF EXCHANGE COUPLINGS IN A FRUSTRATED MAGNET
Sergei Zvyagin, HLD Dresden. Spin-1/2 triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnets represent one of the most important classes of frustrated quantum magnets, demonstrating a complex interplay between geometrical frustration, quantum fluctuations, and magnetic order. In spite of their simple magnetic structures (Figure, inset), they possess highly unusual magnetic properties and a very [...]

PULSED-FIELD NMR STUDY OF CeIn3 UP TO 56 T
Yo Tokunaga, JAEA Tokai, Nicolas Bruyant, LNCMI-Toulouse, and Ilya Sheikin, LNCMI-Grenoble. Heavy-fermion materials exhibit a diverse range of fascinating phenomena including quantum phase transition (QPTs), non-Fermiliquid behavior, and novel states of matter such as unconventional superconductivity. The application of high magnetic fields often induces additional phase transitions, such as [...]

INSULATING STATES OF REPLICA DIRAC FERMIONS IN GRAPHENE SUPERLATTICES
Sergio Pezzini, Steffen Wiedmann, Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen. Two-dimensional layers of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) both have a honeycomb atomic structure, with a slight lattice mismatch of 1.8 %. When placing graphene on top of hBN one forms a so-called moiré pattern, with a large periodicity of [...]
