3/ DFT calculations show that the Fermi level shifts deeply into the valence band and implicates states near the R point in superconductivity. And helps explain the sudden onset of superconductivity with doping. Interestingly, the bands in this part of the Brillouin Zone are quite flat.

2/ We demonstrate that MBE can be used to grow highly Ga doped superconducting Ge on semiconducting Ge. We used x-ray absorption to identify the short range order around Ga dopants and x-ray scattering to detect a subtle lattice distortion due to the differing size of the dopants.

Cover of the "Solid state Physics" textbook by Ashcroft and Mermin. (Source|: Wikipedia)

#PhysicsFactlet:
The "Ashcroft/Mermin Project"
I will try to (likely very slowly) make one or more visualization per chapter of "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft and Mermin, with the hope that they will be useful to people teaching/learning solid state Physics.
