Session: Magnetism, Complexity, and Superconductivity in the Actinides and Rare Earths
Presenter: Priscila Rosa, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Correspondent: Click to Email

The interplay between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity in bulk materials has been one of the central topics in condensed matter physics for the past 40 years. In particular, the family of compounds CeMIn5 (M = Co, Rh, Ir) provides an ideal platform for such investigation due to the small energy scales involved, and the high sample quality. In this talk, I will first discuss novel insights provided by substitution studies in bulk CeRhIn5 under pressure. I will then present recent efforts to fabricate hybrid superlattices consisting of alternating superconducting CeCoIn5 and antiferromagnetic CeRhIn5.
