First principles calculations of electric-field-driven topological phase transitions in silicene, germanene and stanene

This paper presents a first-principles framework combining density-functional theory, Wannier functions, and charge center evolution to accurately determine the critical electric fields for topological phase transitions in silicene, germanene, and stanene, yielding significantly improved predictions over previous tight-binding models by fully accounting for screened electronic structures and dielectric responses.

Large Nernst effect in chemically derived multilayer graphene at millitesla magnetic fields

This paper demonstrates that chemically derived multilayer graphene films with thickness and carrier density fluctuations exhibit a large Nernst effect at millitesla magnetic fields, achieving transverse thermopower values up to 250 μ\muV/K and highlighting their potential for scalable thermoelectric energy generation.

Helicity-engineered nonlinear optical responses in photo-excited topological semimetals

This paper demonstrates that the helicity and polarization orientation of bicircular pump-probe fields can be used to control and manipulate the high-harmonic generation of Weyl semimetals, revealing a sensitive probe for chiral quantum dynamics and electron-hole decoherence that enables light-driven control of topological currents.

Self-Trapping Enabled Highly Bright Momentum-Indirect Interlayer Excitons

This paper demonstrates that coupling 2D perovskites with monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides enables highly bright momentum-indirect interlayer exciton emission with quantum yields exceeding 60%, a phenomenon driven by self-trapping induced by strong exciton-phonon coupling in the soft perovskite lattice.

Mixed quantum-classical evolution in open molecular systems

This paper presents a mixed quantum-classical density-matrix equation of motion for open nonequilibrium molecular systems derived from the pseudoparticle nonequilibrium Green's function (PP-NEGF) method, highlighting its distinctions from prior formulations and demonstrating that standard fewest-switches surface hopping approximations are unreasonable when adiabatic surfaces approach each other.
