The field of colloidal synthesis of semiconductors emerged 40 years ago and has reached a
certain level of maturity thanks to the use of nanocrystals as phosphors in commercial …

Magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials has recently emerged as
one of the most promising areas in condensed matter research, with many exciting emerging …

The interplay between spontaneous symmetry breaking and topology can result in exotic
quantum states of matter. A celebrated example is the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) state …

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are 2D semiconductors with tightly
bound excitons and correspondingly strong light–matter interactions. Owing to the weak van …

Semiconductor moiré superlattices represent a rapidly developing area of engineered
photonic materials and a new platform to explore correlated electron states and quantum …

Abstract 2D semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides comprise an emerging class of
materials with distinct properties, including large exciton binding energies that reach …

Persistent luminescence is not affected by background autofluorescence, and thus holds the
promise of high-contrast bioimaging. However, at present, persistent luminescent materials …

The design and control of material interfaces is a foundational approach to realize
technologically useful effects and engineer material properties. This is especially true for two …

Polariton lasers emit coherent monochromatic light through a spontaneous emission
process. As a rare example of a system in which Bose–Einstein condensation and …

Semiconductors are the basis of many vital technologies such as electronics, computing,
