Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors exhibit strong excitonic optical resonances which serve as a microscopic, non-invasive probe into their fundamental properties. Like the hydrogen atom, such excitons can exhibit an entire

Long viewed as passive elements, antiferromagnetic materials emerged as promising candidates for spintronic devices due to their insensitivity to external fields and potential for high-speed switching. Recent work in spin orbitronics has identified ways to

Studies of ferromagnet-superconductor hybrid systems have uncovered magnetic interactions between the competing electronic orderings. The Electromagnetic Proximity Effect predicts the formation of a spontaneous vector potential inside a superconductor

We describe a two-dimensional optical lattice for ultracold atoms with spatial structure below the diffraction limit created by a bichromatic optical standing wave. At every point in space these fields couple the internal atomic states in a three-level

We report the magnetic and electronic transport properties of the inversion and time-reversal symmetry breaking Weyl semimetal NdAlGe. This material is analogous to NdAlSi whose helicalmagnetism is a rare example of a Weyl-mediated collective phenomenon

The magnetism of the rock-salt fcc rare-earth monopnictide HoBi, a candidate topological material with extreme magnetoresistance, is investigated. From the Ho3+ non-Kramers J=8 spin-orbital multiplet, the cubic crystal electric field yields six near
Hyperspectral luminescence imaging adds high-resolution spectral data to the electroluminescence and photoluminescence images of photovoltaic materials and devices. This enables absolute calibration across a range of spectra and, subsequently, enhances the

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have great potential for use in future electronics due to their atomic thin nature which withstands short channel effects and thus enables better scalability. Since improved scalability is the core advantage, both the channel
How does the percolation transition behave in the absence of quenched randomness? To address this question, we study a nonrandom self-dual quasiperiodic model of square-lattice bond percolation. Through a numerical study of cluster sizes and wrapping

Recent experiments demonstrated deeply subwavelength lattices using atoms with $N$ internal states Raman-coupled with lasers of wavelength $\lambda$. The resulting unit cell was $\lambda/2N$ in extent, an $N$-fold reduction compared to the usual $\lambda/2
Recent advances in first principles calculations and machine learning techniques allow a systematic search for phonon-mediated superconductors. We develop a multi-step workflow for the discovery of conventional superconductors, starting with a Bardeen

We develop a computational database, web-apps and machine-learning (ML) models to accelerate the design and discovery of two-dimensional (2D)-heterostructures. Using density functional theory (DFT) based lattice-parameters and electronic band-energies for

Advanced electro-optic processing combines electrical control with optical modulation and detection. For quan-tum photonic applications these processes need to be carried out at the single photon level with high efficiencyand low decoherence. Integrated

Recently, Co-based honeycomb magnets have been proposed as promising candidate materials to host the Kitaev spin liquid state. One of the front-runners is BaCo 2(AsO 4) 2 (BCAO), where it was suggested that the exchange processes between Co 2+ ions via the

The intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi 2Te 4 (MBT) has provided a platform for the successful realization of exotic quantum phenomena. To broaden the horizons of MBT-based material systems, we intercalate ferromagnetic MnTe layers to construct

Symmetry is a powerful concept in physics, but its applicability to far-from-equilibrium states is still being understood. Recent attention has focused on how far-from-equilibrium states lead to spontaneous symmetry breaking. Conversely, ultrafast optical

Cobalt oxides have long been understood to display intriguing phenomena known as spin-state crossovers, where the cobalt ion spin changes vs. temperature, pressure, etc. A very different situation was recently uncovered in praseodymium-containing cobalt

Many nonlinear systems can be described by eigenmodes with amplitude dependent frequencies, interacting strongly whenever the frequencies become commensurate. Fast energy exchange via internal resonances holds the key to rich dynamical behavior, such as
