Nonlocal Response in Arrays of Nanoscale Metallic Islands: Fractionalized Entropy and Anomalous Heat Transport.
Journal article Physical review letters · May 2026 The surprisingly rich physics of a single Coulomb-blockaded metallic island coupled to quantum Hall edge channels is now well established, giving rise to exotic quantum impurity states. Here, we show that qualitatively new physics emerges in arrays of such ... Full text CiteSuperconductivity in spin-orbit coupled BaBi3 formed by in situ reduction of bismuthate films
Journal article Physical Review Materials · December 1, 2025 Oxygen scavenging at oxide heterointerfaces has emerged as a powerful route for stabilizing metastable phases that exhibit interesting phenomena, including high-mobility, two-dimensional electron gases and high-Tc superconductivity. We investigate structur ... Full text CiteElectrostatic Control of Quantum Phases in KTaO<sub>3</sub>-Based Planar Constrictions.
Journal article Nano letters · November 2025 Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) formed at complex oxide interfaces offer a unique platform to engineer quantum nanostructures. However, the scalable fabrication of devices in these materials remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate an efficient fab ... Full text CiteRecent Grants
