Trion transfer in mixed-dimensional heterostructures

This study demonstrates a novel method for achieving ultra-efficient trion emission in intrinsic, defect-free semiconductors by transferring charged excitons from two-dimensional tungsten-diselenide donors to one-dimensional carbon-nanotube acceptors, thereby overcoming conventional doping requirements and Auger-quenching limitations to boost emission efficiency by over 100-fold.

Multiparametric Quantum Sensing of Liquids Using NV Centres and Tethered Magnetic Nanoparticles

This paper proposes a non-invasive, multiparametric liquid sensing platform that utilizes DNA-tethered magnetic nanoparticles as nanoscale mechanical oscillators to modulate the magnetic fields detected by nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond, enabling high-dimensional characterization of liquid properties through spatially patterned surface functionalization.

Correlated States in Quantum Dot Clusters Coupled to a Common Superconductor

This paper employs a particle-number-conserving effective model and advanced computational methods, including neural-network quantum states, to characterize the distinct superconducting, correlated, and critical regimes of quantum dot clusters coupled to a common superconductor, revealing dimension-dependent ground state behaviors such as gapless transitions in one dimension and robust triplet states in two dimensions.

Coulomb-mediated interactions of charge-transfer excitons in TMD lateral heterostructures

This paper theoretically investigates the Coulomb-mediated interactions of charge-transfer excitons in TMD lateral heterostructures, revealing a net energy blueshift and a quadratic dipole-moment dependence in energy renormalization that distinguishes them from vertical heterostructures, while identifying spatial energy offset and temperature as key control parameters.
