Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By fabricating various artificial superlattices made of heavy fermion compounds, we studied the quantum criticality and novel superconducting states in strongly correlated electron systems. In hybrid superlattices consisting of alternating atomic layers of d-wave superconductor CeCoIn5 and antiferromagnetic metal CeRhIn5, we demonstrated that superconducting pairing can be tuned nontrivially by magnetic fluctuations injected through the interface. In tricolor Kondo superlattices, where CeCoIn5 sandwiched by two different nonmagnetic metals, we found that the Rashba spin-orbit interaction induced global inversion symmetry breaking leads to profound changes in the superconducting properties of CeCoIn5. We also succeeded the in-situ STM observation of electronic structure of CeCoIn5 and CeRhIn5 thin films. We found that the films have very wide atomically flat terraces, demonstrating that the Kondo lattices grown MBE provide a new playground for exploring exotic superconducting states.
