Re-entrant unconventional superconductivity induced by rare-earth substitution in Nd1-xEuxNiO2 thin films

Dung Vu, Hangoo Lee, Daniele Nicoletti +17

High temperature superconductivity is typically associated with strong coupling and a large superconducting gap, yet these characteristics have not been demonstrated in the nickela…

Adaptation of Wallace's Approach to the Specific Heat of Elemental Solids with Significant Intrinsic Anharmonicity, Particularly the Light Actinide Metals

Christopher A. Mizzi, W. Adam Phelan, Matthew S. Cook +6

The quasiharmonic approximation is the most common method for modeling the specific heat of solids; however, it fails to capture the effects of intrinsic anharmonicity. In this stu…

Direct Observation of Large Flexoelectric Bending at the Nanoscale in Lanthanide Scandates

Pratik Koirala, Christopher Mizzi, Laurence D. Marks

Large bending of materials can occur at the nanoscale in response to an electric polarization, what is called the flexoelectric effect, but to date this has not been observed direc…
