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...

The correlation and competition between antiferromagnetism superconductivity are one of the most fundamental issues in high temperature superconductors.

Two-dimensional materials represent a major frontier for research into exotic many-body quantum phenomena. In the extreme two-dimensional limit, electron-electron interaction often dominates over other electronic energy scales, leading to strongly correlated effects such as spin liquid and unconventional superconductivity. The dominance is conventionally attributed lack of electron screening in third dimension. Here, we discover an intriguing metal Mott insulator transition 1T-TaSe
