Zero length quantum wires (or point contacts) exhibit unexplained conductance structure close to 0.7 � 2e 2 /h in the absence of an applied magnetic field. We have studied the density- and temperature-dependent conductance of ultra-low-disorder GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wires with nominal lengths l=0 and 2�m, fabricated from structures free of the disorder associated with modulation doping. In a direct comparision we observe structure near 0.7 � 2e 2 /h for l = 0, whereas thel = 2�m wires show structure evolving with increasing electron density to 0.5 � 2e 2 /h in zero magnetic field, the value expected for an ideal spin-split sub-band. Our results suggest the dominant mechanism through which electrons interact can be strongly affected by the length of the 1D region.

AbstractIn order to understand the superconducting gap nature of a $$\hbox {2H-Pd}_{0.08} \hbox {TaSe}_2$$ 2H-Pd 0.08 TaSe 2 single crystal with $$T_{c} = 3.13 \text { K}$$ T c = 3.13 K , in-plane thermal conductivity $$\kappa $$ κ , in-plane London penetration depth $$\lambda _{\text {L}}$$ λ L , and the upper critical fields $$H_{c2}$$ H c 2 have been investigated. At zero magnetic field, it is found that no residual linear term $$\kappa _{0}/T$$ κ 0 / T exists and $$\lambda _{\text {L}}$$ λ L follows a power-law $$T^n$$ T n (T: temperature) with n = 2.66 at $$T \le \frac{1}{3}T_c$$ T ≤ 1 3 T c , supporting nodeless superconductivity. Moreover, the magnetic-field dependence of $$\kappa _{0}$$ κ 0 /T clearly shows a shoulder-like feature at a low field region. The temperature dependent $$H_{c2}$$ H c 2 curves for both in-plane and out-of-plane field directions exhibit clear upward curvatures near $$T_c$$ T c , consistent with the shape predicted by the two-band theory and the anisotropy ratio between the $$H_{c2}$$ H c 2 (T) curves exhibits strong temperature-dependence. All these results coherently suggest that $$\hbox {2H-Pd}_{0.08} \hbox {TaSe}_2$$ 2H-Pd 0.08 TaSe 2 is a nodeless, multiband superconductor.

AbstractThe CE phase is an extraordinary phase exhibiting the simultaneous spin, charge, and orbital ordering due to strong electron correlation. It is an ideal platform to investigate the role of the multiple orderings in the phase transitions and discover emergent properties. Here, we use a cryogenic high-field magnetic force microscope to image the phase transitions and properties of the CE phase in a Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3 thin film. In a high magnetic field, we observed a clear suppression of magnetic susceptibility at the charge-ordering insulator transition temperature (TCOI), whereas, at the Néel temperature (TN), no significant change is observed. This observation favors the scenario of strong antiferromagnetic correlation developed below TCOI but raises questions about the Zener polaron paramagnetic phase picture. Besides, we discoverd a phase-separated surface state in the CE phase regime. Ferromagnetic phase domains residing at the surface already exist in zero magnetic field and show ultra-high magnetic anisotropy. Our results provide microscopic insights into the unconventional spin- and charge-ordering transitions and revealed essential attributes of the CE phase, highlighting unusual behaviors when multiple electronic orderings are involved.

The transverse voltage generated by a temperature gradient in a perpendicularly applied magnetic field, termed the Nernst effect, has promise for thermoelectric applications and for probing electronic structure. In magnetic materials, an anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) is possible in a zero magnetic field. We report a colossal ANE in the ferromagnetic metal UCo0.8Ru0.2Al, reaching 23 microvolts per kelvin. Uranium’s 5f electrons provide strong electronic correlations that lead to narrow bands, a known route to producing a large thermoelectric response. In addition, uranium’s strong spin-orbit coupling produces an intrinsic transverse response in this material due to the Berry curvature associated with the relativistic electronic structure. Theoretical calculations show that in UCo0.8Ru0.2Al at least 148 Weyl nodes, and two nodal lines, exist within 60 millielectron volt of the Fermi level. This work demonstrates that magnetic actinide materials can host strong Nernst and Hall responses due to their combined correlated and topological nature.
