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…

Quantum-size effect induced Andreev bound states in ultrathin metallic islands proximitized by a superconductor
Guanyong Wang, Li-Shuo Liu, Zhen Zhu +9
While Andreev bound states (ABSs) have been realized in engineered superconducting junctions, their direct observation in normal metal/superconductor heterostructures-enabled by qu…
