Magnon-polaron control in a surface magnetoacoustic wave resonator
Strong magnon-phonon coupling The low magnetic damping of YIG is contingent on high-quality monocrystalline films, typically grown on…
Quantum light drives electrons strongly at metal needle tips
Bright squeezed vacuum The experimental set-up for the generation of single-mode BSV is described in ref. 32. The…
Hybrid Frenkel–Wannier excitons facilitate ultrafast energy transfer at a 2D–organic interface
Sample preparation To fabricate the WSe2/PTCDA heterostructure (Extended Data Fig. 1a), hBN was first exfoliated onto a 0.1%…
Signatures of quantum spin liquid state and unconventional transport in thin film TbInO3
Thin-film growth Among the group of quantum spin liquid candidate materials, TbInO3 lends itself particularly well to epitaxial…
In-plane dielectric constant and conductivity of confined water
Device fabrication We fabricated our devices using procedures similar to those described in ref. 22. A free-standing silicon nitride…
Inverted shear-strain magnetoelastic coupling at the Fe/BaTiO3 interface from polarised x-ray imaging
