Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yihang Zeng, Zhengchao Xia, Kaifei Kang, Jiacheng Zhu, Patrick Knüppel | Summary: Chern insulators, which are the lattice analogs of the quantum Hall states, can potentially manifest high-temperature topological orders at zero magnetic field to enable next-generation topological quantum devices. To date, integer Chern insulators have been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich B. Wiesner | First 5 Authors: Dmitry Karpov, Kenza Djeghdi, Mirko Holler, S. Narjes Abdollahi, Karolina Godlewska | Summary: Highly periodic structures are often said to convey the beauty of nature. However, most material properties are strongly influenced by the defects they contain. On the mesoscopic scale, molecular self-assembly exemplifies this interplay; […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | First 5 Authors: Guru Khalsa, Jeffrey Z. Kaaret, Nicole A. Benedek, , | Summary: We use theory and first-principles calculations to explore mechanisms for control of the translational and point group symmetries of crystals in ultrafast optical experiments. We focus in particular on mechanisms that exploit anharmonic (biquadratic) lattice […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Rui Xu, Gustavo A. Alvarez, Jin Zhang, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh | Summary: Understanding the emergent electronic structure in twisted atomically thin layers has led to the exciting field of twistronics. However, practical applications of such systems are challenging since the specific angular correlations between the layers […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich B. Wiesner | First 5 Authors: Kenza Djeghdi, Dmitry Karpov, S. Narjes Abdollahi, Karolina Godlewska, Mirko Holler | Summary: Block copolymers are recognised as a valuable platform for creating nanostructured materials with unique properties. Morphologies formed by block copolymer self-assembly can be transferred into a wide range of inorganic materials, enabling applications […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zhengchao Xia, Yihang Zeng, Bowen Shen, Roei Dery, Kenji Watanabe | Summary: The chemical potential u of an electron system is a fundamental property of a solid. A precise measurement of u plays a crucial role in understanding the electron interaction and quantum states of matter. However, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Rui Xu, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh, Eugene Jeong, Gustavo A. Alvarez | Summary: Boron nitride (BN) is an exceptional material and among its polymorphs, two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal and three-dimensional (3D) cubic BN (h-BN and c-BN) phases are most common. The phase stability regimes of these BN phases […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Hengjie Yu, Dan Luo, Sam F. Y. Li, Maozhen Qu, Da Liu | Summary: Crops are constantly challenged by different environmental conditions. Seed treatment by nanomaterials is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly solution for environmental stress mitigation in crop plants. Here, 56 seed nanopriming treatments are used to […]
