Realizing hybrids of low-dimensional Kondo lattices and superconducting substrates leads to fascinating platforms for studying the exciting physics of strongly correlated electron systems with induced superconducting pairing. Here, we report a scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of a new type of two-dimensional (2D) La-Ce alloy grown epitaxially on a superconducting Re(0001) substrate. We observe the characteristic spectroscopic signature of a hybridization gap evidencing the coherent spin screening in the 2D Kondo lattice realized by the ultrathin La-Ce alloy film on normal conducting Re(0001). Upon lowering the temperature below the critical temperature of rhenium, a superconducting gap is induced exhibiting an energy asymmetry of the coherence peaks that arises from the interaction of residual unscreened magnetic moments with the superconducting substrate. A positive correlation between the Kondo hybridization gap and the asymmetry of the coherence peaks is found.

We demonstrate the reversible control of interactions between a local molecular spin, hosted within an iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecule, and the conduction electrons of a supporting Au(111) surface. Using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, we deliberately and reversibly manipulate the adsorption configuration of the molecule relative to the underlying substrate lattice. Different rotation configurations lead to noticeable changes in the differential conductance measured on the FePc molecules.

Article Synopsis
- The burning of fossil fuels significantly contributes to climate change due to CO2 emissions, which account for 70-75% of global warming.
- Shale reserves may offer a solution for CO2 storage, particularly through adsorbed gas, making it crucial to understand CO2 adsorption processes in shale using various isothermal models.
- This research evaluates multiple isothermal models to predict CO2 adsorption in different shale samples and suggests enhancements to existing models for improved accuracy, including the integration of molecular dynamics simulations with experimental data.

Recent experiments suggest a new paradigm toward novel colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) in a family of materials EuM[Formula: see text]X[Formula: see text] (M [Formula: see text] Cd, In, Zn; X [Formula: see text] P, As), distinct from the traditional avenues involving Kondo-Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida crossovers, magnetic phase transitions with structural distortions, or topological phase transitions. Here, we use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations to explore their origin, particularly focusing on EuCd[Formula: see text]P[Formula: see text]. While the low-energy spectral weight royally tracks that of the resistivity anomaly near the temperature with maximum magnetoresistance ([Formula: see text]) as expected from transport-spectroscopy correspondence, the spectra are completely incoherent and strongly suppressed with no hint of a Landau quasiparticle.

The prominent role of electron-electron interactions in two-dimensional (2D) materials is at the origin of a great variety of fermionic correlated states reported in the literature. Artificial van der Waals heterostructures comprising single layers of highly correlated insulators allow one to explore the effect of the subtle interlayer interaction in the way electrons interact. We study the temperature dependence of the electronic properties of a van der Waals heterostructure composed of a single-layer Mott insulator lying on a metallic substrate by performing quasi-particle interference (QPI) maps.
