Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
Although graphene is not intrinsically superconducting, Cooper pairs from a superconducting contact can diffuse through it. The superconducting proximity effect was observed experimentally in graphene Josephson junctions with contacts made of various superconducting materials like Al, Pb, Nb and even layered materials like NbSe$_2$ [1,2]. When the energy of the electrons in the graphene layer...

Materials with strong spin orbit coupling such as IrTe2 frequently exhibit interesting
magnetic and electronic properties. In particular, this material exhibits a structural
phase transition at 270 K into a charge density wave state, which is suppressed when the
parent compound is doped with metals such as Pd, Fe, Pt, Ni, Mn, Cu, or
Co. As this transition is suppressed, superconductivity...

Experiments have observed a two-dimensional electron gas at the interface of two insulating oxides: strontium titanate ($\mathrm{SrTiO_3}$) and lanthanum aluminate ($\mathrm{LaAlO_3}$).
These interfaces exhibit metallic, superconducting, and magnetic behaviours, which are strongly affected by impurities.
We introduce a simple model to study the two-dimensional conductivity at ...
