Surface superconductivity in the topological Weyl semimetal t-PtBi.

Topological superconductivity is a promising concept for generating fault-tolerant qubits. Early experimental studies looked at hybrid systems and doped intrinsic topological or superconducting materials at very low temperatures. However, higher critical temperatures are indispensable for technological exploitation.

Orbital-selective effect of spin reorientation on the Dirac fermions in a non-charge-ordered kagome ferromagnet FeGe.

Kagome magnets provide a fascinating platform for the realization of correlated topological quantum phases under various magnetic ground states. However, the effect of the magnetic spin configurations on the characteristic electronic structure of the kagome-lattice layer remains elusive. Here, utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, we report the spectroscopic evidence for the spin-reorientation effect of a kagome ferromagnet FeGe, which is composed solely of kagome planes.

Thirty Years of Hide-and-Seek: Capturing Abundant but Elusive M@(8)-C Isomer, and the Study of Magnetic Anisotropy Induced in Dy Ion by the Fullerene π-Ligand.

Our knowledge about endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) is restricted to the structures with sufficient kinetic stability to be extracted from the arc-discharge soot and processed by chromatographic and structural techniques. For the most abundant rare-earth monometallofullerene M@C, experimental studies repeatedly demonstrated (9) and (6) carbon cage isomers, while computations predicted equal stability of the "missing" (8) isomer. Here we report that this isomer is indeed formed but has not been recovered from soot using standard protocols.
