We report field and temperature dependent measurements of the thermoelectric power (TEP) Nernst effect in itinerant metamagnet UCoAl. The magnetic is applied along easy magnetization $c$ axis hexagonal crystal structure. metamagnetic transition from paramagnetic phase at zero to induced ferromagnetic state first order low temperatures becomes a broad crossover above critical ${T}_{M}^{\ensuremath{\star}}\ensuremath{\sim}11\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$. dependence TEP reveals that effective...

We present thermoelectric power and resistivity measurements in the ferromagnet ${\mathrm{UGe}}_{2}$ as a function of temperature magnetic field. At low temperature, huge quantum oscillations are observed field applied along $a$ axis.

The pair breaking potential of individual magnetic impurities in s-wave superconductors generates localized states inside the superconducting gap commonly referred to as Yu- Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) whose isolated nature makes them ideal building blocks for artificial structures that may host Majorana fermions. One challenges this endeavor is understand their intrinsic lifetime, $\hbar/\Lambda$, which expected be limited by inelastic coupling with continuum thus leading decoherence. Here we use...

Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy is used to investigate the magnetic state of Fe monolayer on Re(0001). Two coexisting atomic-scale noncollinear spin textures are observed with a sharp transition between them order atomic lattice spacing. A position correlation two states both in experiments and Monte Carlo simulations, demonstrating their coupling behavior.

We report thermoelectric measurements of the low carrier heavy fermion compound URu2Si2 at high fields up to 34T and temperatures down 500mK. The field dependence power (TEP) Nernst signal shows successive anomalies deep inside hidden order (HO) phase. position these correspond different changes in Shubnikov-de Haas frequencies effective masses around 12 T, 17 23 T 30 T. These results indicate reconstructions Fermi surface, which imply electronic phase transitions well within HO

At 0 T, the negative $S/T$ continues to strongly enhance down superconducting transition temperature with no Fermi-liquid behavior. $|S/T|$ is dramatically suppressed and becomes rather modest increasing field. have also obtained precise field dependencies of (i) an anomaly due Kondo effect (ii) a field-induced associated anomalous upward ${H}_{\mathrm{c}2}(T)$.

Abstract Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) display a rich variety of instabilities such as spin and charge orders, Ising superconductivity, topological properties. Their physical properties can be controlled by doping in electric double‐layer field‐effect transistors (FET). However, for the case single layer NbSe 2 , FET is limited to ≈ 1 × 10 14 cm −2 while somewhat larger injection obtained via deposition K atoms. Here, performing angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning...

Understanding the interplay between individual magnetic impurities and superconductivity is crucial for bottom-up construction of novel phases matter. For decades, description by Yu, Shiba Rusinov (YSR) single spins in a superconductor its extension to include quantum effects has proven highly successful: pair-breaking potential spin generates sub-gap electron- hole excitations that are energetically equidistant from zero. By tuning energy states through zero, impurity screening makes ground...
