We have measured directly the Andreev scattering of a controllable beam of quasiparticle excitations by a localized tangle of quantum vortices in superfluid 3He-B at low temperatures. We present a microscopic description of the Andreev scattering from a vortex line allowing us to estimate the vortex separation scale in a dilute tangle of vortices, providing a better comparison of the observed decay time of the turbulence with recent numerical simulations. The experiments also suggest that below 200 microK we reach the low temperature limit for turbulent dynamics.

The mixed-valence compound YbB displays paradoxical quantum oscillations in electrical resistivity and magnetic torque in a regime with a well-developed insulating charge gap and in the absence of an electronic Fermi surface. However, signatures of such unusual fermionic quasiparticles in other bulk thermodynamic observables have been missing. Here we report the observation of a series of sharp double-peak features in the specific heat as a function of the magnetic field.

Exploring emerging two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) semiconducting materials and precisely tuning their electronic properties at the atomic level have long been recognized as crucial issues for developing their high-end electronic and optoelectronic applications. As a III-VI semiconductor, ultrathin layered hexagonal GaTe (-GaTe) remains unexplored in terms of its intrinsic electronic properties and band engineering strategies. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of ultrathin -GaTe layers on a selected graphene/SiC(0001) substrate, via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).

The transition-metal chalcogenides include some of the most important and ubiquitous families of 2D materials. They host an exceptional variety of electronic and collective states, which can in principle be readily tuned by combining different compounds in van der Waals heterostructures. Achieving this, however, presents a significant materials challenge.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptical bottle beams, characterized by their unique three-dimensional dark core, have garnered substantial interest due to their potential applications across multiple domains of science and technology. This paper delves into the current methods used to create these beams and provides a method to obscure their nodal planes through coaxial non-interfering orthogonally polarized beams to generate bottle beams with enhanced uniformity. Experimental and theoretical results show the enhanced vector bottle beam maintains a smaller, more spherically uniform potential well and interesting quasi-particle polarization characteristics.

Dimensional confinement has shown to be an effective strategy to tune competing degrees of freedom in complex oxides. Here, we achieved atomic layered growth of trigonal vanadium sesquioxide (VO) by means of oxygen-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. This led to a series of high-quality epitaxial ultrathin VO films down to unit cell thickness, enabling the study of the intrinsic electron correlations upon confinement.
