We explore the possibility of a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless-like critical phase for the charge degrees of freedom in the intermediate-temperature regime between the charge-ordered and disordered phases in two-dimensional systems with competing short-range Coulomb repulsion. As the simplest example, we investigate…

We perform a systematic study of the Zitterbewegung effect of fermions, which are described by a Gaussian wave with broken spatial-inversion symmetry in a three-dimensional low-energy Weyl semimetal. Our results show that the motion of fermions near the Weyl points is characterized by rectilinear motion and Zitterbewe…

Abstract Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are characterized by an extraordinarily strong Coulomb interaction giving rise to tightly bound excitons with binding energies of hundreds of meV. Excitons dominate the optical response as well as the ultrafast dynamics in TMDs. As a result, a microscopic…

The rapid growth of energy demand and lack of sustainable energy conversion/storage devices have made the supercapacitor an inevitable substitute to current storage systems. However, the major limitation to the cutting edge lies in superconductors’ relatively low energy density compared to batteries. Here, we report L…

Abstract High-nuclearity silver clusters are appealing synthetic targets for their remarkable structures, but most are isolated serendipitously. We report here six giant silver-thiolate clusters mediated by solvents, which not only dictate the formation of an octahedral Ag 6 4+ kernel, but also influence the in situ-g…

Abstract 2D materials hold great potential for designing novel electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, 2D material can only absorb limited incident light. As a representative 2D semiconductor, monolayer MoS 2 can only absorb up to 10% of the incident light in the visible, which is not sufficient to achieve a h…

A new technique of liquid phase epitaxy has been proposed in this work. It allows to eliminate known disadvantages of liquid phase epitaxy by creating short-time contact between a substrate and a solution-melt, as well as due to segmental deposition of an epitaxial layer over the working substrate surface. The short-t…
