A new layered oxide semiconductor (Bi 2 O Se) is found with excellent electronic properties for promising applications.
Intrinsic defects such as vacancies, interstitials, and anti-sites often introduce rich luminescent properties in II−VI semiconductor nanomaterials. A clear understanding of the dynamics defect-related excitons is particularly important for design optimization nanoscale optoelectronic devices. In this paper, low-temperature steady-state time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies have been carried out to investigate emission cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanobelts that originates from...
Topological nodal semimetal (TNS), characterized by its touching conduction and valence bands, is a newly discovered state of quantum matter which exhibits various exotic physical phenomena. Recently, new type TNS called topological line (TNLS) predicted where band form degenerate one-dimension further protected crystal symmetry.

Graphene has demonstrated great potential in new-generation electronic applications due to its unique properties such as large carrier Fermi velocity, ultrahigh mobility, and high material stability. Interestingly, the structures can be further engineered multilayer graphene by introduction of a twist angle between different layers create van Hove singularities (vHSs) at adjustable binding energy. In this work, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub-micrometer spatial...
Group VIII transition-metal dichalcogenides have recently been proposed to host type-II Dirac fermions. They are Lorentz-violating quasiparticles marked by a strongly tilted conic dispersion along certain momentum direction and therefore no analogs in the standard model. Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we systematically studied electronic structure of $\mathrm{PtS}{\mathrm{e}}_{2}$ full three-dimensional Brillouin zone. As predicted, pair crossings is...
Abstract Constrained by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem, in all so-far experimentally determined Weyl semimetals (WSMs) points (WPs) always appear pairs momentum space with no exception. As a consequence, Fermi arcs occur on surfaces which connect projections of WPs opposite chiral charges. However, this situation can be circumvented case unpaired WP, without relevant surface arc connecting its projection, appearing singularly, while Berry curvature field is absorbed nontrivial charged...
Addressing the need for modulated spin configurations is crucial, as they serve foundational building blocks next-generation spintronics, particularly in atomically thin structures and at room temperature. In this work, we realize intrinsic ferromagnetism monolayer flakes tunable ferro-/antiferromagnetism (Fe0.56Co0.44)5GeTe2 antiferromagnets. Remarkably, ferromagnetic ordering (≥1 L) antiferromagnetic (≥4 remain discernible up to The TC (∼310 K) of sets a record high known exfoliated van...

By accurately determining bulk-band structure, we revealed coexistence and quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surfaces with dominant hole carriers. The band structure around Brillouin-zone center characterized by an energy overlap between electron pockets, in excellent agreement first-principles band-structure...

Two dimensional (2D) peak finding is a common practice in data analysis for physics experiments, which typically achieved by computing the local derivatives. However, this method inherently unstable when landscape complicated or signal-to-noise ratio of low. In work, we propose new tracking task formalized as an inverse problem, thus can be solved with convolutional neural network (CNN). addition, show that underlying principle experiments used to generate training data. By generalizing...
Weyl nodes can be classified into zero-dimensional (0D) points (WPs), 1D nodal lines (WNL) and 2D surfaces (WNS), which possess finite Chern numbers. Up to date, the largest number of WPs identified in semimetals is 4, thought a maximal value for linearly crossing solids. On other hand, whether numbers nonzero-dimensional linear objects have one upper limit still an open question. In this work, combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with density functional theory calculations,...

The coexistence of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic order at room temperature in single-phase van der Waals materials, particularly within the two-dimensional limit, has attracted significant research interest. Nonetheless, such materials are rare. In this work, we introduce an itinerant antiferromagnet (Fe0.56Co0.44)5GeTe2, where its exfoliated flakes remains discernible up to temperature, extending down monolayer limit. A notable phenomenon observed is evident odd-even layer-number...
