Article Abstract

In the underdoped n-type cuprate NdCeCuO, long-range antiferromagnetic order reconstructs the Fermi surface, resulting in a putative antiferromagnetic metal with small Fermi pockets. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we observe an anomalous energy gap, an order of magnitude smaller than the antiferromagnetic gap, in a wide portion of the underdoped regime and smoothly connecting to the superconducting gap at optimal doping. After considering all the known ordering tendencies in tandem with the phase diagram, we hypothesize that the normal-state gap in the underdoped n-type cuprates originates from Cooper pairing. The high temperature scale of the normal-state gap raises the prospect of engineering higher transition temperatures in the n-type cuprates comparable to those of the p-type cuprates.

Superconducting properties of thin film NbTiN studied via the NMR of implantedLi.

We report measurements of the normal-state and superconducting properties of thin-film NbTiN usingLi-detected nuclear magnetic resonance (-NMR). In these experiments, radioactiveLiprobes were implanted 21 nm below the surface of a NbTiN(91 nm) film in NbTiN/(91 nm)/AlN(4 nm)/Nb and its NMR response recorded (viaLi's-emissions) between 4.6 K and and 270 K in a 4.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the relationship between albumin-corrected serum anion gap (ACAG) levels and various mortality outcomes in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, indicating that hypoalbuminemia could underestimate true anion gap levels.
  • Using data from 8,161 diabetic adults over 20 years, the research found that higher ACAG levels correlated with increased rates of all-cause mortality, as well as cardiovascular and cancer-specific mortality.
  • The analysis also highlighted that certain factors, such as C-reactive protein and cholesterol levels, partially mediated the connection between ACAG levels and mortality risks, suggesting that maintaining normal ACAG levels could lower mortality risks for individuals with T2D.

The two-dimensional kagome lattice is an experimental playground for novel physical phenomena, from frustrated magnetism and topological matter to chiral charge order and unconventional superconductivity. A newly identified kagome superconductor, TaVSi has recently gained attention for possessing a record high critical temperature,  = 7.5 K for kagome metals at ambient pressure.

The critical current in a superconductor (SC) determines the performance of many SC devices, including SC diodes which have attracted recent attention. Hitherto, studies of SC diodes are limited in the DC-field measurements, and their performance under a high-frequency current remains unexplored. Here, we conduct the first investigation on the interaction between the DC and terahertz (THz) current in a SC artificial superlattice.
