Strongly entangled Quantum Spin Rings driven by Hückel rule
Manish Kumar, Deng-Yuan Li, Zhangyu Yuan +11
Quantum spin rings represent an intriguing platform for studying unconventional magnetic order and exotic quantum phases, and they are also promising materials for emerging quantum…
Engineering excitonic metal-insulator transitions in ultra-thin doped copper sulfides
Haiyang Chen, Yufeng Liu, Yashi Jiang +10
Delicate engineering of the bands remains challenging due to complex electronic, structural, and compositional interplay. We demonstrate the formation of distinct metallic and insu…
Quantum Spin-1/2 Rings Built from [2]Triangulene Molecular Units
Can Li, Manish Kumar, Ying Wang +14
Quantum spin rings represent fundamental model systems that exhibit distinctive quantum phenomena-such as quantum critical behavior and quasiparticle excitations-arising from their…
Atomically-resolved exciton emission from single defects in MoS
Lysander Huberich, Eve Ammerman, Gu Yu +11
Understanding how atomic defects shape the nanoscale optical properties of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors is essential for advancing quantum technologies and optoelectronics.…
Fabrication and Characterization of the Moiré surface state on a topological insulator
Yi Zhang, Dang Liu, Qiaoyan Yu +19
A Moire superlattice on the topological insulator surface is predicted to exhibit many novel properties but has not been experimentally realized. Here, we developed a two-step grow…
Quantum-size effect induced Andreev bound states in ultrathin metallic islands proximitized by a superconductor
Guanyong Wang, Li-Shuo Liu, Zhen Zhu +9
While Andreev bound states (ABSs) have been realized in engineered superconducting junctions, their direct observation in normal metal/superconductor heterostructures-enabled by qu…
