We report systematic optical studies of WS2 and WSe2 monolayers multilayers. The efficiency second harmonic generation shows a dramatic even-odd oscillation with the number layers, consistent presence (absence) inversion symmetry in even-layer (odd-layer). Photoluminescence (PL) measurements show crossover from an indirect band gap semiconductor at multilayers to direct-gap one monolayers. A hot luminescence peak (B) is observed ~0.4 eV above prominent edge (A) all samples. magnitude A-B...

The Majorana fermion, which is its own anti-particle and obeys non-abelian statistics, plays a critical role in topological quantum computing. It can be realized as bound state at zero energy, called mode (MZM), the vortex core of superconductor, or ends nanowire when both superconductivity strong spin orbital coupling are present. A MZM detected zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) tunneling spectroscopy. However, practice, clean robust MZMs have not been vortices due to contamination from...

Superconductivity emerges in both La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ and La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ under high pressure by suppressing their density-wave transitions, but critical temperature (Tc) differs significantly between these two compounds. To gain deeper insights into the distinct superconducting states, it is essential to unravel nature of states at ambient pressure, a topic that remains largely unexplored. Here, using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), we report direct visualization an...
