How can one control electronic structure just with magnetic fields? In our new paper, we track how the electronic structure in Sr₃Ru₂O₇ changes as a function of applied field direction, providing direct imaging of a field-controlled nematicity and how to control electronic structure with surprisingly modest magnetic fields. Also another good example of how the surface can differ subtly from what the bulk does …

Read in our new study, led by Steve Lee’s group combining μSR with STM by Chi Ming and Christopher and theory, what evidence there is for triplet pairs due to spin-orbit coupling and proximity effect in heterostructures of Platinum and Niobium.
