Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a highly selective catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation of propane (ODHP) to propylene. Using a variety of ex situ characterization techniques, the activity of the catalyst has been attributed to the formation of an

Charge Order Evolution of Superconducting BaNi2As2 Under High Pressure

November 2, 2023
Author(s)
John Collini, Daniel Campbell, Daniel Sneed, Prathum Saraf, Christoper Eckberg, Jason Jeffries, Nicholas Butch, Johnpierre Paglione
BaNi2As2, a nonmagnetic superconductor counterpart to BaFe2As2, has been shown to develop nematic order, multiple charge orders, and a dramatic sixfold enhancement of superconductivity via isovalent chemical substitution of Sr for Ba. Here we present high

A Review of UTe2 at High Magnetic Fields

November 1, 2023
Author(s)
Sylvia Lewin, Corey Frank, Sheng Ran, Johnpierre Paglione, Nicholas Butch
ranium ditelluride (UTe2) is recognized as a host material to unconventional spin-triplet superconductivity, but it also exhibits a wealth of additional unusual behavior at high magnetic fields. One of the most prominent signatures of the unconventional

Bootstrapped Dimensional Crossover of a Spin Density Wave

Author(s)
Anjana Samarakoon, J. Strempfer, Junjie Zhang, Feng Ye, Yiming Qiu, J.-W. Kim, H. Zheng, S. Rosenkranz, M. Norman, J. Mitchell, D. Phelan
Quantum materials display rich and myriad types of magnetic, electronic, and structural ordering, often with these ordering modes either competing with one another or 'intertwining,' that is, reinforcing one another. Low dimensional quantum materials

A superconducting nanowire single-photon camera with 400,000 pixels

October 25, 2023
Author(s)
Bakhrom Oripov, Dana Rampini, Jason Allmaras, Matt Shaw, Sae Woo Nam, Boris Korzh, Adam McCaughan
For the past 50 years, superconducting detectors have offered exceptional sensitivity and speed for detecting faint electromagnetic signals in a wide range of applications. These detectors operate at very low temperatures and generate a minimum of excess

Observation of anisotropic superfluid density in an artificial crystal

October 18, 2023
Author(s)
Ian Spielman, Mingshu Zhao, Junhent Tao
We experimentally and theoretically investigate the anisotropic speed of sound of an atomic superfluid (SF) Bose-Einstein condensate in a 1D optical lattice. Because the speed of sound derives from the superfluid density, implying that this density is

A quantum ruler for orbital magnetism in moire quantum matter

October 5, 2023

Marlou Slot, Yulia Maximenko, Paul M. Haney, Sungmin Kim, Daniel Walkup, Evgheni Strelcov, En-Min Shih, Dilek Yildiz, Steven R. Blankenship, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Yafis Barlas, Nikolai Zhitenev, Fereshte Ghahari Kermani, Joseph A. Stroscio
Topological properties that underlie the rich emergent phases of moiré quantum matter (MQM) result from the eigenstate geometry of the moiré Hamiltonian. The eigenstate geometry involves the Berry curvature and the less known quantum metric. Most studies

Strain-activated stimulated emission from multilayer MoSe2 in a narrow operation window

Advances in instrumentation and tracer materials are still required to enable sensitive and accurate 3D temperature monitoring by magnetic particle imaging. We have developed a magnetic particle imaging instrument to observe temperature variations using

Quantum Spin Ice Response to a Magnetic Field in the Dipole-Octupole Pyrochlore Ce2Zr2O7
