Owen Moulding and Sven Friedemann, University of Bristol.  TiSe2 features a charge density wave (CDW) driven by condensation of excitons, i.e., pairs of electrons and holes, alongside electronphonon coupling. The CDW transition at 202 K gaps out most of [...]

Matthew Bristow, Amalia Coldea, University of Oxford and William Knafo, LNCMI-Toulouse. CaKFe4As4 belongs to a new family of 1144 iron-based superconductors. It is a clean and stoichiometric superconductor with a relatively high critical temperature of 35 K. This system [...]

S. Kasahara, Kyoto University, N. Hussey, HFML Nijmegen, and J. Wosnitza, HLD Dresden. Superconductivity is destroyed at high magnetic fields. Usually, the highest field up to which this state can exist is the Pauli paramagnetic limit, when the Zeeman [...]

Hans Engelkamp and Peter Christianen, HFML Nijmegen. This research shows that magnetic levitational bioassembly with a non-toxic, low concentration of a paramagnetic medium in high magnetic field is technologically feasible. Moreover, the experimental results confirm that it can be [...]

Alexandre Pourret, CEA Grenoble and Gabriel Seyfarth, LNCMI-Grenoble. The recently discovered heavy-fermion superconductor UTe2 with superconducting transition temperature of 1.6 K is one of the rare examples of a heavy-fermion material with superconductivity appearing above 1 K. In contrast [...]

Denis Gorbunov, HLD Dresden. The physical properties of uranium-based intermetallic compounds depend strongly on the degree of localization of the 5f electrons. The extended character of the 5f states leads to a high sensitivity to external parameters. The pronounced [...]

Walter Escoffier, Michel Goiran, LNCMI Toulouse and Km Rubi, HFML Nijmegen. The discovery of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the interface between the two insulators LaAlO3 (LAO) and SrTiO3 (STO) has not only enhanced the expectations of oxide-electronics [...]

Igor Vinograd and Marc-Henri Julien, LNCMI-Grenoble. High-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates arises in close proximity to a charge density wave (CDW) phase. A challenge in the field is to understand how both phenomena compete and whether, behind pure competition, [...]

Rosa Córdoba, ICMol and Uli Zeitler, HFML Nijmegen. The fabrication and understanding of complex three-dimensional (3D) architectures on the nanoscale is one of the promising routes towards new schemes for a next generation of advanced electronic devices. This endeavor [...]

S. Rößler, S. Wirth, MPI CPfS Dresden and Y. Skourski, HLD Dresden In recent years, the iron chalcogenides received considerable attention in the condensed-matter physics community which was mainly sparked by the discovery of superconductivity below Tc ≈ 8.5 [...]
