This study demonstrates gate-tunable ambipolar Josephson current in molecular beam epitaxy-grown bulk-insulating (Bi,Sb)₂Te₃ thin films, revealing distinct transport behaviors between thin and thick films and establishing a critical foundation for realizing Dirac-surface-state-mediated topological superconductivity and Majorana modes.
This study demonstrates that a plasma-free, carbon buffer-assisted epitaxial method can synthesize air-stable graphene/trilayer gallium/SiC heterostructures exhibiting Ising-type superconductivity, where interfacial orbital hybridization induces spin-split Fermi surfaces and an in-plane upper critical magnetic field that significantly exceeds the Pauli paramagnetic limit.
The paper predicts that altermagnets with Rashba spin-orbit coupling can host a giant, field-free transverse Josephson diode effect, enabling highly efficient nonreciprocal supercurrents that are tunable via the Néel vector.
This study reveals that in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, moderate disorder paradoxically enhances conductance by inducing delocalization before stronger disorder restores localization, a unique behavior driven by flat-band physics that distinguishes it from large-angle systems and offers insights into fractional quantum anomalous Hall effects.
This paper reports the first observation of weak localization in large-area twisted bilayer graphene across various twist angles and identifies signatures of universal conductance fluctuations in high-mobility samples near a van Hove singularity.
This paper proposes a method to probe spatially resolved electron spin density correlations in atomically thin van der Waals materials by utilizing trapped excitons in a moiré lattice as an optical probe that detects energy shifts mediated by electron-exciton scattering, thereby enabling the characterization of quantum phase transitions and superconducting pairing symmetries.
The paper proves the rigidity of isotropic harmonic maps from a 2-torus to a complex projective space under specific geometric conditions, a result that ensures the stability of harmonic band towers in condensed matter physics.
