Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies motivated by technologically important applications of this material in spintronics, its fundamental properties such as momentumresolved electron dispersions and the Fermi surface have so far remained experimentally inaccessible because of metastability of its surface, which instantly reduces to amorphous Cr\(_2\)O\(_3\). In this work, we demonstrate that direct access to the native electronic structure of CrO\(_2\) can be achieved with soft-x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy whose large probing depth penetrates through the Cr\(_2\)O\(_3\) layer. For the first time, the electronic dispersions and Fermi surface of CrO\(_2\) are measured, which are fundamental prerequisites to solve the long debate on the nature of electronic correlations in this material. Since density functional theory augmented by a relatively weak local Coulomb repulsion gives an exhaustive description of our spectroscopic data, we rule out strong-coupling theories of CrO\(_2\). Crucial for the correct interpretation of our experimental data in terms of the valence-band dispersions is the understanding of a nontrivial spectral response of CrO\(_2\) caused by interference effects in the photoemission process originating from the nonsymmorphic space group of the rutile crystal structure of CrO\(_2\).}, language = {en} } @article{DeaconWiedenmannBocquillonetal.2017, author = {Deacon, R.

In particular, measurements of the Josephson emission enable the detection of topological gapless Andreev bound states that give rise to emission at half the Josephson frequency f\(_{J}\) rather than conventional emission at f\(_{J}\). Here, we report direct measurement of rf emission spectra on Josephson junctions made of HgTe-based gate-tunable topological weak links. The emission spectra exhibit a clear signal at half the Josephson frequency f\(_{J}\)/2. The linewidths of emission lines indicate a coherence time of 0.3-4 ns for the f\(_{J}\)/2 line, much shorter than for the f\(_{J}\) line (3-4 ns). These observations strongly point towards the presence of topological gapless Andreev bound states and pave the way for a future HgTe-based platform for topological quantum computation.}, language = {en} }
