Broken site symmetry of Fe adatoms on BiTe
Duy Nguyen, Hari Paudyal, Joseph R. Sink +2
We report a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and atomistic theoretical study of Fe adatoms on the BiTe(111) surface. Topographic imaging at ~K shows that Fe adat…
Kinetics of electron-phonon scattering in silicon resolved by Rydberg transitions of donors
Nils Dessmann, Aidan G. McConnell, Sergey G. Pavlov +6
Rydberg states of atoms in vacuum are now well recognized as a resource for quantum technologies. Donors in semiconductors also display analogous states, which have been proposed f…
Engineering diamond interfaces free of dark spins
Xiaofei Yu, Evan J. Villafranca, Stella Wang +10
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are extensively utilized as quantum sensors for imaging fields at the nanoscale. The ultra-high sensitivity of NV magnetometers has enabled…
Suppression of charge-density wave and superconductivity in a lithiated NbSe monolayer
Hari Paudyal, Michael E. Flatté
We present an \textit{ab initio} investigation of the long-range charge density wave (CDW) order and superconducting properties of the pristine and lithiated NbSe monolayer. St…
Microscopic Scattering Approach to In-Gap States: Cr Adatoms on Superconducting β-Bi2Pd
Joseph Sink, Hari Paudyal, Divya Jyoti +4
We develop a microscopic scattering formalism to describe Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states due to a single Cr adatom on the Bi-terminated surface of , by combining ab initi…
Spin-State Selective Excitation in Spin Defects of Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Mohammad Abdullah Sadi, Luca Basso, David A Fehr +8
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a promising two-dimensional platform for quantum sensing, due to its optically addressable spin defects, such as the negatively charged…
