Interface-Confined Superconductivity with Thickness-Independent Superfluid Stiffness in (Pb,Sn)Te/FeTe Bilayers
Zi-Jie Yan, Hongtao Rong, Yiyuan Luo +12
Interface-induced superconductivity in FeTe-based heterostructures provides a promising route toward topological superconductivity, yet the roles of the neighboring layers topology…
Imaging Surface Magnetization in Altermagnetic MnTe Films
Ling-Jie Zhou, Senlei Li, Zi-Jie Yan +13
Altermagnets with pronounced spin-splitting band structure, unconventional magnetic and crystal symmetries, and exotic magneto-transport properties have received immense interest i…
Surface-State-Driven Anomalous Hall Effect in Altermagnetic MnTe Films
Ling-Jie Zhou, Zi-Jie Yan, Hongtao Rong +15
Altermagnets have recently emerged as a new class of magnetic materials that combine compensated magnetic order with spin-split electronic band structures. In this work, we employ…
Interplay of Quantum Size Effect and Tensile Strain on Surface Morphology of Sn(100) Islands
Bing Xia, Xiaoyin Li, Hongyuan Chen +16
The quantum size effect (QSE) and strain effect are two key factors influencing the surface morphology of thin films, which can increase film surface roughness through QSE-induced…
Orbital Hybridization-Induced Ising-Type Superconductivity in a Confined Gallium Layer
Hemian Yi, Yunzhe Liu, Chengye Dong +24
In low-dimensional superconductors, the interplay between quantum confinement and interfacial hybridization effects can reshape Cooper pair wavefunctions and induce novel forms of…
Interlayer Coupling-Induced Quantum Phase Transition in Quantum Anomalous Hall Multilayers
Ling-Jie Zhou, Deyi Zhuo, Ruobing Mei +8
A quantum phase transition arises from competition between different ground states and is typically accessed by varying a single physical parameter near absolute zero temperature.…
