Publication: Transport Study of Charge-Carrier Scattering in Monolayer WSe2

January 30, 2024

Congratulations to Andy, Kate and Luis, whose paper "Transport Study of Charge-Carrier Scattering in Monolayer WSe₂" appeared today in Physical Review Letters! In this work, we demonstrated mobilities as high as 25,000 cm^-2/Vs in an atomically thin semiconductor. Read more about Publication: Transport Study of Charge-Carrier Scattering in Monolayer WSe2

Publication: Time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity between twisted cuprate superconductors

December 7, 2023

Congratulations to Frank, Alex and Nicola on their recent Science paper: Time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity between twisted cuprate superconductors. They developed a novel cryogenic transfer technique that enabled the fabrication of high quality twisted BSCCO Josephson Junctions. Their devices displayed a time-reversal symmetry-broken ground state! Check out the...
