Gate-Reconfigurable Single- and Double-Dot Transport in Trilayer MoSe2

This paper demonstrates that trilayer MoSe2 devices with a multi-gate architecture can be electrically reconfigured to transition from single-dot to double-dot transport regimes by tuning the backgate voltage, enabling the study of non-equivalent quantum dots with tunable coupling.

Tuning Structure and Magnetism in Large-Scale 2D Ferromagnet Fe3_3GeTe2_2 through Ni Doping

This study demonstrates that controlled Ni doping in large-scale Fe3_3GeTe2_2 epitaxial films, achieved via molecular beam epitaxy, induces lattice contraction and a dual substitution-intercalation mechanism that significantly suppresses perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and drastically lowers the Curie temperature to 50 K, with experimental findings corroborated by density functional theory calculations.

Quantum dynamics of coupled quasinormal modes and quantum emitters interacting via finite-delay propagating photons

This paper presents a time-dependent theory describing the retarded interactions between spatially separated lossy cavities and quantum emitters mediated by finite-delay propagating photons, utilizing quantized quasinormal modes and non-bosonic bath operators to model both bath-mediated and QNM-mediated coupling.
