We describe the synthesis of bilayer graphene thin films deposited on insulating silicon
carbide and report the characterization of their electronic band structure using angle …

Abstract The two-dimensional (2D) superconducting state is a fragile state of matter
susceptible to quantum phase fluctuations. Although superconductivity has been observed …

Recent progress in two-dimensional superconductors with atomic-scale thickness is
reviewed mainly from the experimental point of view. The superconducting systems treated …

Macroscopic and robust supercurrents are observed by direct electron transport
measurements on a silicon surface reconstruction with In adatoms [Si (111)-(7× 3)-In]. The …

In situ micro-four-point-probe conductivity measurements in ultrahigh vacuum revealed that
the<? format?> Si (111)-striped incommensurate-Pb surface showed the superconductivity …

Recently, it was demonstrated that the quasiparticle dynamics, the layer-dependent charge
and potential, and the c-axis screening coefficient could be extracted from measurements of …

Light-control of structural dynamics at surfaces promises switching of chemical and physical
functionality at rates limited only by the velocity of directed atomic motion. Following optical …

Solid-state photoemission spectroscopy relies to a large part on pulsed photon sources:
third-generation synchrotron-radiation sources and ultrafast laser systems in particular …

In this article, we review the recent progress in surface atomic-layer superconductors on
semiconductor substrates with Rashba/Zeeman-type spin-orbit coupling (SOC). After …

Spin-momentum locking is essential to the spin-split Fermi surfaces of inversion-symmetry
broken materials, which are caused by either Rashba-type or Zeeman-type spin-orbit …
