Two-dimensional (2D) van-der-Waals semiconductors have emerged as a class of materials with promising device characteristics owing to the intrinsic bandgap. For realistic applications, ideal is modify bandgap in controlled manner by mechanism that can be generally applied this materials.

Topological quantum materials coupled with magnetism can provide a platform for realizing rich exotic physical phenomena, including anomalous Hall effect, axion electrodynamics and Majorana fermions. However, these unusual effects typically require extreme experimental conditions such as ultralow temperature or sophisticate material growth fabrication. Recently, new intrinsic magnetic topological insulators were proposed in MnBi2Te4-family compounds - on which could be realized under much...
We report the realization of novel symmetry-protected Dirac fermions in a surface-doped two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor, black phosphorus. The widely tunable band gap phosphorus by surface Stark effect is employed to achieve surprisingly large inversion up ∼0.6 eV. High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectra directly reveal pair creation points and their movement along axis glide-mirror symmetry. Unlike graphene, point stable, as protected space-time symmetry, even presence...
Topological superconductors (TSCs) are unconventional with bulk superconducting gap and in-gap Majorana states on the boundary that may be used as topological qubits for quantum computation. Despite their importance in both fundamental research applications, natural TSCs very rare.

We investigated Pt-induced nanowires on the Si(110) surface using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and angle-resolved photoemission. High resolution STM images show a well-ordered nanowire array of 1.6 nm width 2.7 separation. Angle-resolved photoemission reveals fully occupied one-dimensional (1D) bands with Rashba-type split dispersion. Local $dI/dV$ spectra further indicate well-confined 1D electron channels nanowires, whose density states characteristics are consistent band splitting....

Abstract Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are a promising alternative to lithium‐ion batteries, boasting superior safety, eco‐friendliness, and cost‐effectiveness. Despite these advantages, performance issues such as irregular Zn deposition cathode material dissolution remain challenging.

The synergistic effect of structure high water affinity...
We investigate the electronic structure of 2H and 3R polytypes NbS$_2$. The Fermi surfaces measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy show a remarkable difference in size, reflecting significantly increased band filling 3R-Nb$_{1+x}$S$_2$ compared to 2H-NbS$_2$, which we attribute presence additional interstitial Nb act as electron donors. Thus find that stoichiometry, rather than stacking arrangement, is most important factor physical properties two phases. Our high resolution...
The spin-resolved electronic band structure of Au-induced metallic atomic wires on a vicinal silicon surface, Si(553), was investigated using spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. We directly measured the spin polarization three partially filled one-dimensional bands, one-third-filled band, doublet nearly half-filled bands. For doublet, strong apparent observed near Fermi energy with minor out-of-plane component. This observation is consistent Rashba-type spin-orbit splitting...
A superlattice of strained Au-Si atomic wires is successfully fabricated on a Si surface. Au atoms are known to incorporate into the stepped Si(111) surface form wire array with both one-dimensional (1D) metallic and antiferromagnetic chains. At reduced density Au, we find regular in alternation pristine nanoterraces. Pristine nanoterraces impose strain neighboring wires, which modifies band structure chains magnetic property spin This an ultimate 1D version strained-layer semiconductors,...
Kinks near the Fermi level observed in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) have been widely accepted to represent electronic coupling collective excitations, but kinks at higher energies eluded a unified description. We identify mechanism leading such kink features by means of ARPES and tight-binding band calculations on $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ bands graphene, where anomalous as high $\ensuremath{\sim}4\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}$ were reported recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111,...
