The search for new two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors with strong spin-orbit coupling,
merging Rashba effect with valley physics, is essential for advancing the emerging fields of …

We show that the spin pum** from ferromagnetic insulator into the adjacent metallic spin
sink can be strongly stimulated by the superconducting correlations. The key physical …

The interplay between substrates and superconducting thin films has attracted increasing
attention. Here, we report an in-depth investigation on superconducting properties of the …

We study hybrid Josephson junctions between a multiband Ba 1− x Na x Fe 2 As 2 iron-
pnictide and Nb. We observe that the insertion of a Cu interlayer in such junctions leads to a …

Superconductivity and the normal-state properties of NbN films can be tuned in a wide
range, supplying a suitable platform to investigate the systematical evolution of the …

A thin TiO 2 semiconductor film embedded between two metal electrodes works as a
memristor after being formed by soft breakdown. The forming creates a nano-filament that …

Superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) is a leading candidate for
applications requiring the fundamental limit of light detection at high detection rates. While …

Practical superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) demonstrate a
strong trade-off between detection sensitivity and the reset time. Often, there are wide …

Vortex dynamics has attracted tremendous attention for both fundamental physics and
applications of type-II superconductors. However, methods to detect local vortex motion or …

Superconducting niobium nitride films are ideal candidates for electronics applications
among low-Tc materials due to comparatively high critical temperature, large critical …
