Direct observation of vortices in an electron fluid
Vortices are the hallmarks of hydrodynamic flow. Recent studies indicate that strongly-interacting electrons in ultrapure conductors can display signatures of hydrodynamic behavior including negative nonlocal resistance, Poiseuille flow in narrow channels, and a violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law. Here we provide the...

The thickness dependence of quantum oscillations in ferromagnetic Weyl metal SrRuO$_{3}$
Quantum oscillations in resistivity and magnetization at high magnetic fields are a macroscopic fingerprint of the energy quantization due to the cyclotron motion of quasiparticles.

Strong-Coupling Superconductivity with $T_c$ $\sim$ 10.8 K Induced by P Doping in the Topological Semimetal Mo$_5$Si$_3$
By performing P doping on the Si sites in the topological semimetal Mo$_5$Si$_3$, we discover strong-coupling superconductivity in Mo$_5$Si$_{3-x}$P$_x$ (0.5 $\le$ $x$ $\le$ 2.0). Mo$_5$Si$_3$ crystallizes in the W$_5$Si$_3$-type structure with space group of $I4/mcm$ (No. 140), and is not a superconductor itself. Upon...

Exploration of strongly correlated states in SmB6 through a comparison of its two-coil pick-up response to that of Bi2Se3
Earlier studies on the Kondo insulator SmB6 reveal the presence of a bulk Kondo insulating gap between 30 - 50 K, and the emergence of a conducting surface state only below 4 K. Here, we compare the two-coil mutual inductance pick-up response of SmB6 single crystal with that of a conventional topological insulator (TI)...
