As the dimensions of a material shrink from an extended bulk solid to a nanoscale structure,
size and quantum confinement effects become dominant, altering the properties of the …

Abstract 2D monolayers supporting a wide variety of highly confined plasmons, phonon
polaritons, and exciton polaritons can be vertically stacked in van der Waals …

The magnetism of Kitaev materials has been widely studied, but their charge properties and
the coupling to other degrees of freedom are less known. Here we investigate the charge …

Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) compose a class of luminescent materials that utilize
the unique wavelength-converting properties of lanthanide (Ln) ions for light-harvesting …

The optical properties of transition-metal dichalcogenides have previously been modified at
the nanoscale by using mechanical and electrical nanostructuring. However, a clear …

Charge transfer plays a key role at the interfaces of heterostructures, which can affect
electronic structures and ultimately the physical properties of the materials. However, charge …

The exceptional cyclic utilization performance of fixed-state thin film photocatalysts has
garnered significant interest, yet their industrial application remains constrained by their low …

We investigate the electronic properties of a graphene and α-ruthenium trichloride (α-RuCl3)
heterostructure using a combination of experimental techniques. α-RuCl3 is a Mott insulator …
