Spin-triplet superfluids can support exotic objects, such as half-quantum vortices characterized by the nontrivial winding of the spin structure. We present cantilever magnetometry measurements performed on mesoscopic samples of Sr(2)RuO(4), a spin-triplet superconductor. With micrometer-sized annular-shaped samples, we observed transitions between integer fluxoid states as well as a regime characterized by "half-integer transitions"--steps in the magnetization with half the height of the ones w

The single-particle spectral function measures the density of electronic states in a material as a function of both momentum and energy, providing central insights into strongly correlated electron phenomena. Here we demonstrate a high-resolution method for measuring the full momentum- and energy-resolved electronic spectral function of a two-dimensional (2D) electronic system embedded in a semiconductor. The technique remains operational in the presence of large externally applied magnetic fiel

We describe a feedback-based dynamic cantilever magnetometry technique capable of achieving thermal limited magnetic moment sensitivity with low applied fields. Using this technique, we have observed periodic entry of vortices into mesoscopic Sr2RuO4 rings. The quantized jump in the magnetic moment of the particle produced by individual vortices was measured with a resolution of 7×10−16 emu with an applied field of 1 Oe.

The development of robust computational protocols capable of accurately predicting the dielectric strengths of eco-friendly insulating gas candidates is crucial; however, it lacks relevant efforts significantly. Consequently, a series of computational protocols are employed in this study to enable the computational prediction of polarizability and ionization energy of eco-friendly, perfluorinated carbon-based candidates, followed by the equation-based prediction of their dielectric strength. The

In Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BBG), the Landau levels give rise to an intimate connection between valley and layer degrees of freedom. Adding a moiré superlattice potential enriches the BBG physics with the formation of topological minibands - potentially leading to tunable exotic quantum transport. Here, we present magnetotransport measurements of a high-quality bilayer graphene-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) heterostructure. The zero-degree alignment generates a strong moiré superlattice

We introduce a time-resolved magneto-optical measurement technique based on a zero-area Sagnac interferometer. By replacing a continuous wave light source to a pulsed one, temporal resolution of hundreds of picoseconds is achieved. Because two lights passing through a Sagnac loop always travel the same optical path length, the interference from the phase modulation and Kerr rotation occurs in a pulse mode. For illustration of the apparatus, we present ferromagnetic resonance of a Permalloy film

We introduce a design of electrically isolated “floating” bilayer GaAs quantum wells (QW), in which application of a large gating voltage controllably and highly reproducibly induces charges that remain trapped in the bilayer after removal of the gating voltage. At smaller gate voltages, the bilayer is fully electrically isolated from external electrodes by thick insulating barriers. This design permits full control of the total and differential densities of two coupled 2D electron systems. The

Imaging local magnetic fields produced by nano- and micrometer-scale superconductors has become a vital tool that can not only reveal crucial information on the vortex dynamics and order parameters of the superconducting materials but also visualize the working mechanism of superconducting devices made for quantum information. Here, we performed measurements of the magnetic field distributions of mesoscopic superconducting structures with various geometries by combining a thin ferromagnetic meta

Inducing strong coupling between a mechanical degree of freedom and optical modes has been of great scientific interest itself, but also important for the applications to the quantum information technology. However, photons and mechanical modes usually are weakly interacting due to very small momentum exerted by photons. Here, we demonstrate a scheme for coupling a resonance mode of a mechanical oscillator with an optical cavity, by utilizing the magneto-optical effect of a mesoscopic supercondu
