Si/SiO2 interfaces, important parts of Si‐based devices, significantly influence the
performance of Si‐based devices. However, owing to the impact of the external …

The ability to predict and describe nonradiative processes in molecules via the identification
and characterization of conical intersections is one of the greatest recent successes of …

Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) is an efficient and reliable method that
enables initialization and readout of spin states through the spin-photon interface. In …

The interest in perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) such as CsPbBr3 for quantum applications is
rapidly raising, as it has been demonstrated that they can behave as very efficient single …

We apply multireference electronic structure calculations to demonstrate the presence of
conical intersections between the ground and the first excited electronic states of three …

The identification and design of defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials as promising
single photon emitters (SPEs) requires a deep understanding of the underlying carrier …

An atomic insight into the local chemical ordering and lattice strain is particular interesting to
recent emerging bimetallic nanocatalysts such as PtNi alloys. Here, we reported the atomic …

We studied the optical absorption enhancement in colloidal suspensions of PbS quantum
dots (QD) upon ligand exchange from oleate to a series of cinnamate ligands. By combining …

The successful integration of a laser into the silicon photonic chip has long been the holy
grail of silicon photonics. Among the various methods addressing this challenge, silicon …

Defects at the surface of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) give rise to electronic states
within the gap, which are detrimental to charge transport properties of QD devices. We …
