Researchers from the Universities of Hamburg, Kiel, and Groningen have investigated how different topological superconductors interact at their interface. Their results show that a specific inter-play of magnetic and superconducting properties leads to the formation of novel, spin-polarized edge states - with promising...

Researchers from the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg have created a magnetic network on the nanometer scale in an antiferromagnetic manganese layer. The transitions between different magnetically ordered areas (domains) of the network were imaged on the atomic scale using scanning tunneling microscopy...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the University of Hamburg and the University of Illinois Chicago have now demonstrated, both experimentally and theoretically...
