Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states versus topological edge states in Pb/Si(111)

Gerbold C. Ménard, Christophe Brun, Raphaël Leriche +6

There is presently a tremendous activity around the field of topological superconductivity and Majorana fermions. Among the many questions raised, it has become increasingly import…

Isolated pairs of Majorana zero modes in a disordered superconducting lead monolayer

Gerbold Ménard, Andrej Mesaros, Christophe Brun +4

Majorana zero modes are fractional quantum excitations appearing in pairs, each pair being a building block for quantum computation . Some possible signatures of these excitations…

Resistive switching induced by electronic avalanche breakdown in GaTaSeTe narrow gap Mott Insulators

Vincent Guiot, Laurent Cario, Etienne Janod +6

Mott transitions induced by strong electric fields are receiving a growing interest. Recent theoretical proposals have focused on the Zener dielectric breakdown in Mott insulators,…

STM observation of the hinge-states of bismuth nanocrystals

Tianzhen Zhang, Valeria Sheina, Sergio Vlaic +6

The recent application of topological quantum chemistry to rhombohedral bismuth established the non-trivial band structure of this material. This is a 2order topological ins…

Quantum confinement effects in Pb Nanocrystals grown on InAs

Tianzhen Zhang, Sergio Vlaic, Stéphane Pons +9

In the recent work of Ref.\cite{Vlaic2017-bs}, it has been shown that Pb nanocrystals grown on the electron accumulation layer at the (110) surface of InAs are in the regime of Cou…

Long range coherent magnetic bound states in superconductors

Gerbold C. Ménard, Sébastien Guissart, Christophe Brun +9

The quantum coherent coupling of completely different degrees of freedom is a challenging path towards creating new functionalities for quantum electronics. Usually the antagonisti…
