Novel semiconductor gives new perspective on anomalous Hall effect

Posted: 22 Dec 2021 12:31 PM PST

A large, unconventional anomalous Hall resistance in a new magnetic semiconductor in the absence of large-scale magnetic ordering has been demonstrated, validating a recent theoretical prediction. Their findings provide new insights into the anomalous Hall effect, a quantum phenomenon that has previously been associated with long-range magnetic order.

Superconducting uranium ditelluride is a promising material in the race to create fault-tolerant quantum computers, but physicists are rethinking how superconductivity arises in the material in light of puzzling new experimental evidence.

Fabrication of flexible electronics improved using gold and water-vapor plasma

Posted: 22 Dec 2021 12:30 PM PST

Researchers have developed a technique to improve the flexibility of ultra-thin electronics, such as those used in bendable devices or clothing. To do so, they used water-vapor plasma to directly bond gold electrodes fixed onto separate ultra-thin polymer films. This is a significance advance because the technique works without adhesives or high temperatures.
