Emergent vortices at a ferromagnetic superconducting oxide interface by Petrović, A P, Paré, A, Paudel, T R, Lee, K, Holmes, S, Barnes, C H W, David, A, Wu, T, Tsymbal, E Y, Panagopoulos, C

“…This hysteresis is argued to arise from vortex depinning within a thin (< 20 nm) superconducting layer, mediated by discrete ferromagnetic dipoles located solely above the layer. The pinning strength may be modified by varying the superconducting channel thickness via electric field-effect doping. …”

Direct observation of deterministic domain wall trajectory in magnetic network structures by Sethi, Pankaj, Murapaka, Chandrasekhar, Goolaup, Sarjoosing, Chen, Yun Jie, Leong, Siang Huei, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The DW propagation in the network structure is governed by the geometrically induced potential barrier and pinning strength against the propagation. This technique can be extended for controlling the trajectory of magnetic charge carriers in an artificial spin ice lattice.…”

Producing microscale Ge textures via titanium nitride- and nickel-assisted chemical etching with CMOS-compatibiliyty by Liao, Yikai, Shin, Sang-Ho, Jin, Yuhao, Wang, Qi Jie, Kim, Munho

“…Schottky contact barrier of metal catalyst with Ge is also investigated indicating similar hole injection efficiency among TiN, Ni, and Ti/Ni with Ge junction due to strong Fermi level pinning effect. The TiN- and Ni-assisted chemical etching of Ge shed light on CMOS-compatible Ge-based photonic and optoelectronic applications.…”
