Probing electronic nematicity and anisotropic electron-phonon coupling in strained YBCO nanowires

Despite nearly 40 years since its discovery in 1986, the underlying mechanism behind
the high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) in cuprates remains a significant enigma in
condensed matter physics. The existence of multiple intertwined local orders, originating
from the strongly correlated electrons, further complicates the study of these materials.
Such complexity of the normal state is depicted in a very intricate temperature-doping
phase diagram. A way to advance the knowledge of these materials is to tune the local
orders, both in the superconducting and in the normal state, to disentangle them for
individual study. One way to achieve such an effect is to apply strain to the cuprates
in nm-thick films. Previously, it was discovered that the unidirectional strain, induced
by few-unit-cell-thick films deposited on a nanostructured surface, can modify the charge
order and cause the in-plane resistivity of the films to become much more anisotropic
than in bulk materials. According to the Boltzmann transport model, such anisotropy
in the in-plane resistivity is due to the directional modification of the Fermi velocity
in which the velocity along one crystallographic in-plane direction is much higher than
another. This results in an anisotropic Fermi surface that connects to the presence of
an electronic nematicity, wherein the electronic structure retains translational symmetry
while spontaneously breaking rotational symmetry.
In earlier reports on the archetypal HTS YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) superconductor,
the photoemission and transport measurements appear to show that electron-phonon
coupling (EPC) can become directionally suppressed if the Fermi surface becomes nematic
(as in our sample). This should strongly affect the heat transport in nm-thick YBCO
films. Hence, the focus of this thesis work is to investigate the anisotropic EPC through
the study of electrical and heat transport properties of YBCO nanowires oriented along
different crystallographic axes. The nanowires are fabricated from YBCO thin films
epitaxially grown by the Pulsed Laser Deposition technique, and the strain is tuned by
modifying the film thickness.

Post-extraction matters; re-programming Smöjen limestone quarry through landscape-based design
(2023) Ahlklo, Sys; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för arkitektur och samhällsbyggnadsteknik (ACE); Adelfio, Marco; Björling, Nils
With the disused quarry at Smöjen, Gotland as a context, this thesis asks the
question How can architects take responsibility for the use of materials when
re-programming post-industrial landscapes? The thesis aims at highlighting
the necessity of conscious use of materials by utilizing the landscape. The
argument is being made that the physical limitations that come with a landscape-based
design could be formulated as a creative framework that opens up
for interesting solutions while avoiding depletion of recourses.
As a result of mining natural resources on an ever-increasing scale, the
amount of extraction sites have multiplied. Today, there are rules and guidelines
for the rehabilitation of quarries, but quarries from before the 1970s have
not been subject to rehabilitation in the same way. The harsh landscape alterations
of dis-used quarries make the landscape-rehabilitation process slow,
but the same barren landscape with its traces from past lives have proven to
attract an increasing number of visitors. Smöjen is subject to this increasing
tourism meanwhile in need of rehabilitation to prevent potential safety hazards.
Regionally, Smöjen is defined as an area of development in the larger context
of the Gotland archipelago.
The thesis proposes an intervention at Smöjen limestone quarry, focusing on
three support structures for information, visits and accommodation, using the
existing landscape and material remains as a design framework. Literature research,
archive visits and extensive site explorations have informed the design
proposal. In addition, an extension of the hiking trail S:t Olofsleden is proposed,
adding context to Smöjen and other already established visitor destinations
along the north-east coast.
The thesis focuses on the understanding of the material in the early phases
of the design process. The proposal preserves and strengthens the identity of
Smöjen, demonstrating concept development in relation to material use and
circularity and contributes to the discussion regarding the architect as consumer
of building materials.
