Jahn-Teller-like Distortion in a One-dimensional Ï-Conjugated Polymer
Ziyi Wang, Boyu Qie, Weichen Tang +8
Structurally distorting low-dimensional Ï-conjugated systems can profoundly influence their electronic properties, but controlling such behavior in extended-width systems remains…
Ferromagnetic Insulator to Metal Transition in Non-Centrosymmetric Graphene Nanoribbons
Aidan P. Delgado, Michael C. Daugherty, Weichen Tang +2
Engineering sublattice imbalance within the unit cell of bottom-up synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) represents a versatile tool for realizing custom-tailored quantum nanomat…
Strong long-wavelength electron-phonon coupling in TaNi(Se,S)
Zhibo Kang, Burak Gurlek, Weichen Tang +9
The search for intrinsic excitonic insulators (EI) has long been confounded by coexisting electron-phonon coupling in bulk materials. Although the ground state of an EI may be diff…
Structural contribution to light-induced gap suppression in TaNiSe
Zijing Chen, Chenhang Xu, Chendi Xie +13
An excitonic insulator is a material that hosts an exotic ground state, where an energy gap opens due to spontaneous condensation of bound electron-hole pairs. TaNiSe is a…
Quantum Theory of Exciton Magnetic Moment: Interaction and Topological Effects
Gurjyot Sethi, Jiawei Ruan, Fang Zhang +4
Combining magnetometry with optical spectroscopy has uncovered novel quantum phenomena and is emerging as a powerful probe of quantum materials. However, the theory of the magnetic…
Janus graphene nanoribbons with a single ferromagnetic zigzag edge
Shaotang Song, Yu Teng, Weichen Tang +9
Topological design of pi-electrons in zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) leads to a wealth of magnetic quantum phenomena and exotic quantum phases. Symmetric ZGNRs typically…
