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.

The correlation and competition between antiferromagnetism superconductivity are one of the most fundamental issues in high temperature superconductors. Superconductivity cuprate superconductors arises from suppressing an antiferromagnetic (AFM) Mott insulator1 while iron-pnictide AFM semimetals can coexist with orders2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. This difference raises many intriguing debates on relation two classes Recently, at 32 K has been reported iron-chalcogenide AxFe2−ySe2 (A = K, Rb Cs)10,11,12....
