Reentrant Landau Levels in a Dirac topological insulator

C. Kaufmann Ribeiro, J. C. Mutch, Q. Jiang +13

The quantum limit, where magnetic fields confine carriers to the lowest Landau level, is predicted to host exotic quantum phases arising from strengthened electronic correlations,…

Continuously tunable uniaxial strain control of van der Waals heterostructure devices

Zhaoyu Liu, Xuetao Ma, John Cenker +13

Uniaxial strain has been widely used as a powerful tool for investigating and controlling the properties of quantum materials. However, existing strain techniques have so far mostl…

p x n-Type Transverse Thermoelectrics in a Type-II Weyl Semimetal TaIrTe4

Josh Mutch, Wei-Chih Chen, Cheng-Yi Huang +3

p x n-type materials refer to materials with a p-type Seebeck coefficient in one direction and a n-type coefficient in the orthogonal direction. This type of materials allows for a…

Unconventional Charge-density-wave Order in a Dilute d-band Semiconductor

Huandong Chen, Batyr Ilyas, Boyang Zhao +27

Electron-lattice coupling effects in low dimensional materials give rise to charge density wave (CDW) order and phase transitions. These phenomena are critical ingredients for supe…

Fourier-based methods for removing mesh anomalies from angle resolved photoemission spectra

Shouzheng Liu, Erica Kotta, Yishuai Xu +6

Recent improvements to spatial resolution in angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy (ARPES) have made it common to perform measurements with a very brief dwell time, for the pu…

Apparatus Design for Measuring of the Strain Dependence of the Seebeck Coefficient of Single Crystals

Tiema Qian, Joshua Mutch, Lihua Wu +3

We present the design and construction of an apparatus that measures the Seebeck coefficient of single crystals under in-situ tunable strain at cryogenic temperatures. A home-built…

Bismuth-doping Alters Structural Phase Transitions in Methylammonium Lead Tribromide Single Crystals

Erin Jedlicka, Jian Wang, Joshua Mutch +8

We study the effects of bismuth doping on the crystal structure and phase transitions in single crystals of the perovskite semiconductor methylammonium lead tribromide, MAPbBr3. By…

Abrupt switching of the anomalous Hall effect by field-rotation in nonmagnetic ZrTe5

Joshua Mutch, Xuetao Ma, Chong Wang +7

The Hall effect arises when time reversal symmetry is broken by either intrinsic magnetism or an external magnetic field. The latter contribution dominates in non-magnetic material…

Determination of the spin axis in quantum spin Hall insulator monolayer WTe2

Wenjin Zhao, Elliott Runburg, Zaiyao Fei +9

Evidence for the quantum spin Hall (QSH) effect has been reported in several experimental systems in the form of approximately quantized edge conductance. However, the most fundame…

The transport-structural correspondence across the nematic phase transition probed by elasto-x-ray diffraction

Joshua J Sanchez, Paul Malinowski, Joshua Mutch +4

Electronic nematicity in iron pnictide materials is coupled to both the lattice and the conducting electrons, which allows both structural and transport observables to probe nemati…

Drastic suppression of superconducting by anisotropic strain near a nematic quantum critical point

Paul Malinowski, Qianni Jiang, Joshua Sanchez +7

High temperature superconductivity emerges in the vicinity of competing strongly correlated phases. In the iron-based superconductor , the superconduc…

Comprehensive Control of Metamagnetic Transition of Antiferromagnetic Mott Insulator Sr2IrO4 by in-situ Anisotropic Strain

H. Zhang, L. Hao, J. Yang +10

Metamagnetism in antiferromagnets exhibits distinct critical behaviors and dynamics when invoking spin reversal and rotation. Here we show a 0.05% anisotropic strain suffices to in…

Evidence for a strain tuned topological phase transition in ZrTe5

Joshua Mutch, Wei-Chih Chen, Preston Went +5

A phase transition between topologically distinct insulating phases involves closing and reopening of the bandgap. Close to this topological phase transition, the bulk energy spect…
