Superconducting Spintronic Heat Engine
Clodoaldo I. L. de Araujo, Pauli Virtanen, Maria Spies +7
Heat engines are key devices that convert thermal energy into usable energy. Strong thermoelectricity, at the basis of electrical heat engines, is present in superconducting spin t…
Superconductor-ferromagnet hybrids for non-reciprocal electronics and detectors
Zhuoran Geng, Alberto Hijano, Stefan Ilic +16
We review the use of hybrid thin films composed of superconductors and ferromagnets for creating non-reciprocal electronic components and self-biased detectors of electromagnetic r…
Superconducting spintronic tunnel diode
E. Strambini, M. Spies, N. Ligato +10
Diodes are key elements for electronics, optics, and detection. The search for a material combination providing the best performances for the required application is continuously o…
Coexistence of superconductivity and spin-splitting fields in superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator bilayers of arbitrary thickness
Alberto Hijano, Stefan Ilić, Mikel Rouco +11
Ferromagnetic insulators can induce a strong exchange field in an adjacent superconductor via the magnetic proximity effect. This manifests as spin-splitting of the BCS density of…
Correlated electro-optical and structural study of electrically tunable nanowire quantum dot emitters
Maria Spies, Akhil Ajay, Eva Monroy +2
Quantum dots inserted in semiconducting nanowires are a promising platform for the fabrication of single photon devices. However, it is difficult to fully comprehend the electro-op…
In-situ high resolution TEM observation of Aluminum solid-state diffusion in Germanium nanowires: fabricating sub-10 nm Ge quantum dots
M. Luong, E. Robin, N. Pauc +6
Aluminum-germanium nanowires (NWs) thermal activated solid state reaction is a promising system as very sharp and well defined one dimensional contacts can be created between a met…
