Discovery of Nodal-Line Superconductivity in Chiral Crystals
Chiral crystals, whose key feature is the structural handedness, host exotic quantum phenomena driven by the interplay of band topology, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and electronic correlations. Due to the limited availability of suitable chiral-crystal materials, their unconventional superconductivity (SC) remains largely unexplored.
Here, the discovery ...
Observation of Magnetic Pseudogap Behavior in Phosphorus-Doped Silicon
The recent discovery of a Kondo condensate in phosphorus-doped silicon (Si:P) presents its significant potential for achieving novel many-body quantum states. Si:P exhibits Kondo condensation, characterized by an energy gap in the electronic density of states, while the precise nature of its magnetic state has yet to be determined.
Here, we utilize ...
A New Quantum Landscape: Coexisting High-Tc Superconductivity, Magnetism, and Complex Charge Order in LaRu3Si2.
Despite intense research on kagome superconductors, many fundamental questions remain—especially regarding the unconventional nature of their charge order and superconducting phases. These materials are rich in complexity, and to truly unravel their behavior, a broad and integrated approach is essential. In our study ...
