We study the transport properties in SrVO3/LaVO3 (SVO/LVO) superlattices deposited on SrTiO3 (STO) substrates. We show that the electronic conduction occurs in the metallic LVO layers with a galvanomagnetism typical of a 2D Fermi surface. In addition, a Kondo-like component appears in both the thermal variation of resistivity and the magnetoresistance. Surprisingly, in this system where the STO interface does not contribute to the measured conduction, the Kondo correction is strongly anisotropic. We show that the growth temperature allows a direct control of this contribution. Finally, the key role of vanadium mixed valency stabilized by oxygen vacancies is enlightened.

Lepidocrocite-type layered sodium titanate (NaHTiO) is widely used in environmental remediation because of its large specific surface area, formed by anisotropic crystal growth, and its ability to store and exchange cations between layers. Additionally, peroxo-titanate nanotubes (PTNTs), which are tubular titanates with peroxy groups, exhibit visible-light absorption capabilities, rendering them suitable for photocatalytic applications under visible light irradiation. However, because of cation exchange reactions, the Na concentration and pH of the solution can fluctuate under aqueous conditions, affecting the photocatalytic performance of the PTNTs.

Dirac fermions, particles with zero rest mass, are observed in topological materials and are believed to play a key role in the exotic phenomena in fundamental science and the advancement of quantum technology. Most of the topological systems studied so far are weakly correlated systems and the study of their properties in the presence of electron correlation is an interesting emerging area of research, where the electron correlation is expected to enhance the effective mass of the particles. Here, we studied the properties of Dirac bands in a non-symmorphic layered Kondo lattice system, CeAgSb, employing high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations.

Article Synopsis
- Localized magnetic moments in non-magnetic materials can significantly impact their metallic properties, leading to phenomena like the Kondo effect and heavy fermion behavior.
- This study focuses on a heterodimensional superlattice structure made of one-dimensional VS chains surrounded by two-dimensional VS layers, where the Kondo effect is observed to exhibit unusual anisotropic behavior.
- The anisotropy in the Kondo effect is linked to the unique magnetic properties of the 1D chains, as confirmed by advanced calculations, paving the way for new research in exotic correlated physics within heterodimensional materials.

Article Synopsis
- Heavy fermion physics involves complex interactions that are difficult to understand, and the one-dimensional Kondo lattice model is a key theoretical focus due to its unique properties and challenges in finding experimental materials.
- This study introduces a quasi-1D Kondo lattice observed in a monolayer van der Waals crystal, NbSe, influenced by Se-deficient line defects that drive it into a stripe phase.
- Through advanced imaging and calculations, the researchers discovered a charge-density wave transition and a Fano resonance at the Fermi energy, indicating strong Kondo behavior along the stripes, which allows for the study of anisotropic Kondo lattice behavior in thin materials.
