While extensively studied in normal metals, semimetals, and semiconductors, the superconducting (SC) proximity effect remains elusive in the emerging field of flat-band systems. In this study, we probe proximity-induced superconductivity in Josephson junctions (JJs) formed between superconducting NbTiN electrodes and...

Post-transfer in-depth morphological characterization of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is of great importance to evaluate the quality and to understand the origin of defects in the transferred sheets. Herein, a semi-dry transfer technique is used to peel...

We use a combination of molecular dynamics and quantum transport simulations to investigate the upper limit of spin transport in suspended graphene. We find that thermally-induced atomic-scale corrugations are the dominant factor, limiting spin lifetimes to 10 ns by inducing a strongly-varying local spin–orbit coupling....

Flat bands in moiré systems are exciting new playgrounds for the generation and study of exotic many-body physics phenomena in low-dimensional materials. Such physics is attributed to the vanishing kinetic energy and strong spatial localization of the flat-band states. Here,...

The ability to tune the energy gap in bilayer graphene makes it the perfect playground for the study of the effects of internal electric fields, such as the crystalline field, which are developed when other layered materials are deposited on...

The collision of two electrons at a beam splitter provides a method for studying their coherence and indistinguishability. Its realization requires the on-demand generation and synchronization of single electrons. In this work, we demonstrate the coherent collision of single electrons,...

The moiré superconductor magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) shows exceptional properties, with an electron (hole) ensemble of only ~1011 carriers per square centimeter, which is five orders of magnitude lower than traditional superconductors (SCs). This results in an ultralow electronic...

Copper foil impurities are hampering scalable production of high-quality graphene by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Here, we conduct a thorough study on the origin of these unavoidable contaminations at the surface of copper after the CVD process. We identify two...

Hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) provides an ideal substrate for supporting graphene devices to achieve fascinating transport properties, such as Klein tunneling, electron optics and other novel quantum transport phenomena. However, depositing graphene on h-BN creates moiré superlattices, whose electronic properties can...
