Magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials has recently emerged as
one of the most promising areas in condensed matter research, with many exciting emerging …

Twisted van der Waals heterostructures have latterly received prominent attention for their
many remarkable experimental properties and the promise that they hold for realizing …

Computational models are an essential tool for the design, characterization, and discovery
of novel materials. Computationally hard tasks in materials science stretch the limits of …

The family of two-dimensional (2D) materials grows day by day, hugely expanding the scope
of possible phenomena to be explored in two dimensions, as well as the possible van der …

Electron spins in van der Waals materials are playing a crucial role in recent advances in
condensed-matter physics and spintronics. However, nuclear spins in van der Waals …

In this work, we present our discovery and characterization of a new kagome prototype
structure, KV 3 Sb 5. We also present the discovery of the isostructural compounds RbV 3 Sb …

The Kitaev model is an exactly solvable S= 1/2 spin model on a 2D honeycomb lattice, in
which the spins fractionalize into Majorana fermions and form a topological quantum spin …

The honeycomb magnet α-RuCl3 has attracted considerable interest because it is proximate
to the Kitaev Hamiltonian whose excitations are Majoranas and vortices. The thermal Hall …

The quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gases involves the flow of topologically
protected dissipationless charge currents along the edges of a sample. Integer or fractional …

Using density functional theory and Monte Carlo calculations, we study the thickness
dependence of the magnetic and electronic properties of a van der Waals interlayer …
