Enhancement of superconductivity mediated by antiferromagnetic squeezed magnons
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We theoretically investigate magnon-mediated superconductivity in a heterostructure consisting of a normal metal and a two-sublattice antiferromagnetic insulator. The attractive electron-electron pairing interaction is ... -
Exceeding the Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit in flat-band superconductors: A multiband strong-coupling approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Hybrid systems of superconductors and magnets display several intriguing properties, both from a fundamental physics point of view and with practical applications. Promising applications in superconducting spintronics ... -
First-order superconducting phase transition in a chiral p+ip system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We use large-scale Monte Carlo computations to study the phase transitions between a two-component chiral p -wave superconductor and normal state in zero external magnetic field. We find a first-order phase transition from ... -
Going beyond the Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit in a flatband superconductor
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Chandrasekhar-Clogston limit normally places stringent conditions on the magnitude of the magnetic field that can coexist with spin-singlet superconductivity, restricting the critical induced Zeeman shift to a fraction ... -
Inverse proximity effect in s-wave and d-wave superconductors coupled to topological insulators
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)We study the inverse proximity effect in a bilayer consisting of a thin s- or d-wave superconductor (S) and a topological insulator (TI). Integrating out the topological fermions of the TI, we find that spin-orbit coupling ... -
Low-energy properties of electrons and holes in CuFeS2
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The antiferromagnetic semiconductor CuFeS2 belongs to a magnetic symmetry class that is of interest for spintronics applications. In addition, its crystal lattice is compatible with Si, making it possible to integrate it ... -
Magnetization reorientation due to the superconducting transition in heavy-metal heterostructures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recent theoretical and experimental work has demonstrated how the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) can be modified by rotating the magnetization of a single homogeneous ferromagnet proximity-coupled to the ... -
Magnon decay theory of Gilbert damping in metallic antiferromagnets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Gilbert damping is a key property governing magnetization dynamics in ordered magnets. We present a theoretical study of intrinsic Gilbert damping induced by magnon decay in antiferromagnetic metals through s−d exchange ... -
Magnon drag in a metal–insulating antiferromagnet bilayer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We study a bilayer structure consisting of an antiferromagnetic insulator and a normal metal. An electron current is driven in the normal metal with direction parallel to the interface between the materials. Due to interfacial ... -
Magnon-mediated superconductivity on the surface of a topological insulator
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We study superconductivity on the surface of a topological insulator, mediated by magnetic fluctuations in an adjacent ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic insulator. Superconductivity can arise from effective interactions ... -
Magnon-polarons in cubic collinear antiferromagnets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We present a theoretical study of excitations formed by hybridization between magnons and phonons—magnon-polarons—in antiferromagnets. We first outline a general approach to determining which magnon and phonon modes can ... -
Many-body effects on superconductivity mediated by double-magnon processes in altermagnets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Altermagnets exhibit a large electron spin splitting which can be understood as a result of strong coupling between itinerant electrons and localized spins. We consider superconductivity due to electron-magnon scattering, ... -

On-off switch and sign change for a nonlocal Josephson diode in spin-valve Andreev molecules
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Andreev molecules consist of two coherently coupled Josephson junctions and permit nonlocal control over supercurrents. By making the barriers magnetic and thus creating a spin valve, we predict that a nonlocal Josephson ... -
One-dimensional spin-polarized surface states: A comparison of Bi(112) with other vicinal bismuth surfaces
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Vicinal surfaces of bismuth are unique test beds for investigating one-dimensional (1D) spin-polarized surface states that may one day be used in spintronic devices. In this paper, such states have been observed for the ... -

Planar graphene-NbSe2 Josephson junctions in a parallel magnetic field
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Thin transition metal dichalcogenides sustain superconductivity at large in-plane magnetic fields due to Ising spin-orbit protection, which locks their spins in an out-of-plane orientation. Here we use thin NbSe2 as ... -
