Toni Helm, HLD. Superhydrides are metallic hydride compounds that exhibit superconductivity (SC) under mega-bar pressure at extraordinarily high temperatures. The observation of superconducting critical temperatures, Tc, as high as 250 K has revived scientists' dream of room-temperature superconductivity. While current [...]

Jérôme Long, ICGM, Montpellier, France, Luís D. Carlos, University of Aveiro, Portugal, Paulina Plochocka, LNCMI Toulouse. Luminescence thermometry has gained significant attention as a versatile and non-invasive tool for remote temperature measurements in diverse fields, including nanomedicine, microelectronics, catalysis, and [...]

Badih Assaf, University of Notre Dame, USA, Milan Orlita, LNCMI-Grenoble. Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) is a widely known phenomenon with a long history in physics that dates back to the original experiments carried out by Faraday, dealing with the interaction [...]

Km Rubi, NHMFL, Los Alamos, USA, Walter Escoffier, LNCMI Toulouse, Uli Zeitler, HFML-FELIX Nijmegen. In the last two decades, two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) have been observed at the surfaces and interfaces of severalperovskite transition-metal oxides, so-called complex oxides. In particular, [...]

Sergei Zvyagin, HLD. The importance of attractive forces, stabilizing multi-particle bound states in condensed matter is generally accepted. By contrast, multiparticle bound states stabilized by means of repulsive forces were long thought to be only theoretical constructions, due to the [...]

V. Oliviero, D. Vignolles, C. Proust, LNCMI Toulouse, W. A. Atkinson, Trent University, Canada. The ubiquity of the interplay between antiferromagnetic (AFM) order, charge density waves (CDWs), and superconductivity is a general feature of hole-doped cuprates. The role of AFM [...]

J. F. Linnartz, A. Kool, S. Wiedmann, HFML Nijmegen and IMM Radboud. Quantum materials often exhibit remarkable sensitivity to subtle changes in their physical environment, a feature that can unlock new functionalities and drive innovative applications. One key phenomenon is [...]

Cyrille Train and Matteo Atzori, LNCMI-Grenoble. Magnetic materials are widely used for many technologies in areas such as energy, health, transportation, computation, and data storage. For the latter, the readout of the magnetic state of a medium is crucial. Optical [...]

Alex Eaton, University of Cambridge, UK and Yurii Skourski, HLD. Scientists from the UK, USA, Czech Republic, and Germany have studied the Fermi surface of the heavy-fermion superconductor UTe2. This material is of particular interest given its high likelihood of [...]

Tristan Thebault, William Knafo, LNCMI Toulouse, Daniel Braithwaite, Gérard Lapertot, Georg Knebel, CEA-Grenoble, and Dai Aoki, Tohoku University. The interplay between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity in UTe2 was extensively studied in the past few years. Multiple superconducting phases were found [...]
