Scandium diboride: a semi-metallic, lattice, thermally matched substrate for vertical AlGaN power electronics
MVS Chandrashekhar, Daniel Joel Harrison, Ahamed Raihan +22
We report the properties of hexagonal (space group P6/mmm) scandium diboride () single crystals grown by a laser diode floating zone method at growth rates of ~1mm/…
Stripping Symmetry: Electrochemical Oxidation to a Superconducting Polar Metal in Au2Pb0.914P2
Scott B. Lee, Stephanie R. Dulovic, Joseph W. Stiles +11
Polar metals and noncentrosymmetric superconductors are exceptionally rare, yet their broken inversion symmetry can give rise to emergent electronic phenomena including mixed singl…
Hydroflux Crystal Growth of Alkali Tellurate Oxide-Hydroxides
Madalyn R. Gragg, Allana G. Iwanicki, Maxime A. Siegler +1
This study investigates the synthesis of novel magnetic materials via hydroflux synthesis, a method that combines flux-based and hydrothermal techniques. Single crystals of three n…
Atomically Modulating Competing Exchange Interactions in Centrosymmetric Skyrmion Hosts GdRu2X2 (X = Si, Ge)
Dasuni N. Rathnaweera, Xudong Huai, K. Ramesh Kumar +7
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically protected spin states enabling high-density, low-power spin electronics. Despite growing efforts to find new skyrmion host systems, the microsc…
Hydroflux-Controlled Growth of Magnetic K-Cu-Te-O(H) Phases
Allana G. Iwanicki, Brandon Wilfong, Eli Zoghlin +3
Innovative synthetic approaches can yield new phases containing novel structural and magnetic motifs. In this work, we show the synthesis and magnetic characterization of three new…
Machine-guided Design of Oxidation Resistant Superconductors for Quantum Information Applications
Carson Koppel, Brandon Wilfong, Allana Iwanicki +3
Decoherence in superconducting qubits has long been attributed to two level systems arising from the surfaces and interfaces present in real devices. A recent significant step in r…
