The makings of a Hund’s metal
In atomic physics, Hund’s rules refers to a set of guidelines which are used to determine the term symbol that corresponds to the ground state of a multi-electron atom. The concept of a ‘Hund’s metal’ has arisen from the realization that the interactions that...
Coupled quantum spins in a CMOS nano-device
LCN scientists have demonstrated a new hybrid system that is a promising candidate as a building block for quantum computation, showing a way to couple a natural phosphorus atom with an artificial atom called a quantum dot. The research, published recently in the...
A step forward in the electrical control of spin states
The solution to an important problem in spintronics research, found by an international collaboration including researchers at the LCN, has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Spintronics is a multi-disciplinary research area that uses the quantum...
