Researchers have synthesized the first 2D heavy fermion. The material, a layered intermetallic crystal composed of cerium, silicon, and iodine (CeSiI), has electrons that are 1000x heavier and is a ...

Physicists captured the first images that directly show the pairing of fermions. The snapshots of particles pairing up in a cloud of atoms can provide clues to how electrons pair up in a ...

Physicists in Japan have created the first 2D “heavy-fermion” material – providing the best evidence yet that heavy fermions undergo a quantum phase transition. The material was made using molecular ...

The detection of Majorana fermion is one of the hotspots in the study of condensed matter recently. The research group in Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) achieved great breakthrough in the ...

Two electronic states known as Fermi arcs, localized on the surface of a material, stem out of the projection of a 3-fold degenerate bulk new fermion. This new fermion is a cousin of the Weyl fermion ...
