Mottness collapse without metallization in the domain wall of the triangular-lattice Mott insulator 1T - TaS[sub]2

Electronic state of a free-standing domain wall in 1T-TaS2 can be explained as a would-be metallic state resulting from the Mottness collapse: the full metalization is preempted by the splitting of the quasiparticle band into bonding and antibonding subbands separated by a band gap. This picture is consistent with the experimental tunneling spectra.

Supercurrent in a double quantum dot

We demonstrate the Josephson effect in a serial double quantum dot defined in a nanowire with epitaxial superconducting leads. The consistency between experiment and theory indicates that our device is a faithful realization of the two-impurity Anderson model.

Yu-Shiba-Rusinov screening of spins in double quantum dots

Highly-tunable double quantum dot (DQD) is coupled to a superconductor and characterized via tunneling spectroscopy using a further normal-state electrode. It is shown how the honeycomb pattern characteristic of DQDs with normal-state leads is replaced by lines of zero-energy Yu-Shina-Rusinov states that delineate the different ground states of the system.

Nonperturbative effects and indirect exchange interaction between quantum impurities on metallic (111) surfaces

We study the exchange interaction between two impurities on the (111) surface which hosts surface states using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG), using a representation which allows obtaining high accuracy results in the thermodynamic limit. Ferromagnetism is never developped, except at short distances.

Reversal of particle-hole scattering-rate asymmetry in the Anderson impurity model

In the single-impurity Anderson model we identify a line in the (U-n) parameter plane where the asymmetry of the scattering-rate becomes zero. This line, defined through impurity dynamics, traces out the cross-over between the weak-coupling and strong-coupling regimes.
