Transverse Photoresistivity from Photothermal Current Deflection in Metal Films

Piyush Sakrikar, Vincent M. Plisson, Cameron Grant +6

Quantum geometry in centrosymmetric systems has motivated the search for photocurrent responses beyond second order. In particular, electric field-induced nonlinear responses may a…

Downscaling of non van der Waals Semimetallic W5N6 with Resistivity Preservation

Hongze Gao, Da Zhou, Lu Ping +10

The bulk phase of transition metal nitrides (TMNs) has long been a subject of extensive investigation due to their utility as coating materials, electrocatalysts, and diffusion bar…

Uncovering the Hidden Ferroaxial Density Wave as the Origin of the Axial Higgs Mode in RTe

Birender Singh, Grant McNamara, Kyung-Mo Kim +24

The recent discovery of an axial amplitude (Higgs) mode in the long-studied charge density wave (CDW) systems GdTe and LaTe suggests a heretofore unidentified hidden order.…

Suppression of Metallic Transport in Nitrogen-rich Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Nitrides

Hongze Gao, Da Zhou, Nguyen Tuan Hung +12

The recent experimental realization of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal nitrides (TMNs, e.g., Mo5N6, δ-MoN, and W5N6) opens new opportunities for exploring their fundamental…

Weyl-Superconductivity revealed by Edge Mode mediated Nonlocal Transport

Wenyao Liu, Gabriel Natale, Camron Farhang +24

Topological superconductivity (TSC) hosts exotic modes enabling error-free quantum computation and low-temperature spintronics. Despite preliminary evidence of edge modes, unambigu…

The effect of surface oxidation and crystal thickness on magnetic properties and magnetic domain structures of Cr2Ge2Te6

Joachim Dahl Thomsen, Myung-Geun Han, Aubrey Penn +10

Van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials such as Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT) show promise for novel memory and logic applications. This is due to their broadly tunable magnetic properties and th…
