This study demonstrates that growing WSe2 on graphene induces persistent compressive strain and layer-dependent charge transfer that pin exciton energies, contrasting with the thickness-dependent shifts observed on SiO2/Si, thereby establishing graphene as an active interface for controlling excitonic properties in scalable van der Waals heterostructures.
This study demonstrates that two-dimensional tellurene, leveraging its inherent chiral atomic structure, generates a gate-tunable, helicity-dependent circular ratchet current at room temperature under terahertz radiation, a phenomenon successfully explained by a microscopic theory based on the Boltzmann kinetic equation.
This study employs comprehensive exact-diagonalization calculations on twisted bilayer MoTe to demonstrate that including interaction-driven band mixing in a two-band-per-valley model is essential for accurately reproducing the experimentally observed hierarchy of fractional Chern insulators and charge density wave states, while also ruling out the proposed non-abelian Pfaffian state at specific fillings.
This study demonstrates that pulsed Laguerre-Gaussian optical vortices can deterministically nucleate specific in-plane topological spin textures, such as bimerons and antibimerons, in chiral ferromagnetic thin films by encoding the light's orbital and spin angular momentum into distinct magnetic states.
This paper reports a fundamentally distinct, scattering-induced layer Hall effect for magnons in conventional magnetic heterostructures, where non-reciprocal dipolar scattering at interfaces generates a large, reconfigurable transverse thermal current without relying on topological band geometry.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that a four-terminal Josephson junction combining equal-spin triplet -wave superconductors and -wave magnets can achieve robust, phase-controlled perfect nonlocal spin and charge diode effects with 100% nonreciprocity, offering a tunable platform for dissipationless superconducting spintronics.
Using a cluster extension of the coherent potential approximation, this study demonstrates that disorder-induced multiple-scattering effects on a Kagome lattice generate non-local self-energies that renormalize hopping terms to create emergent effective spin-orbit interactions, driving the system through a gapless phase with conducting edge modes between two topologically trivial insulating states.
This paper demonstrates that irradiating the barrier of a monolayer jacutingaite tunnel junction with off-resonant circularly polarized light enables highly efficient, tunable spin-valley selective transport, achieving near-perfect valley filtering and substantial spin polarization through photon-dressed mass terms and Fabry-Pérot interference.
This paper presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that intervalley magnetotrions in buckled two-dimensional materials like silicene, germanene, and stanene exhibit exactly separable center-of-mass and internal motions under perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, with binding energies that increase monotonically with both fields due to magnetic confinement and electric-field-induced mass enhancement.
This study demonstrates that depositing ultrathin oxide overlayers, particularly MoOx, on graphene enables robust, tunable engineering of infrared surface plasmons via interfacial charge transfer, resulting in enhanced plasmonic performance and long-term stability for scalable optoelectronic devices.
