Heavy fermions emerge at an atomic-layer interface, unlocking new ways to design quantum materials

A University of Osaka-led research team has directly observed an unusual heavy-fermion state forming at the boundary between a one-atom-thick material and a metal. The researchers said this is the first time such a state has been observed at that type of interface.
Heavy-fermion states are closely linked to exotic quantum phenomena, including unconventional superconductivity. The finding opens new possibilities for designing quantum materials through their interfaces.
