Excitons probe intrinsic flat band Mottness in a van der Waals heterostructure
Xinyue Huang, Xintong Tan, Haowei Chen +12
Excitons provide a sensitive optical probe of electronic correlations in nearby two-dimensional materials, yet their coupling to intrinsic flat-band Mott systems remains largely un…

Layer-parity-defined surface polarization in NbCl for excitonic modulation at van der Waals interfaces
Xinyue Huang, Hansheng Xu, Yuchen Gao +10
The intrinsic symmetry breaking in the breathing kagome lattice of layered NbCl provides a unique mechanism for realizing electrically polar surfaces. In each monolayer, th…
