The widespread use of thermoelectric technology is constrained by a relatively low
conversion efficiency of the bulk alloys, which is evaluated in terms of a dimensionless figure …

As an exotic state of quantum matter, topological insulators have promising applications in
new-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices. The realization of these applications …

The study of topological insulators has generally involved search of materials that have this
property as an innate quality, distinct from normal insulators. Here we focus on the possibility …

In the past decade, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides, nitrides, and
carbonitrides (MXenes) have attracted attention and interest from the scientific community …

A quantum spin hall insulator is manifested by its conducting edge channels that originate
from the nontrivial topology of the insulating bulk states. Monolayer 1 T′-WTe 2 exhibits this …

Recent discoveries of exotic physical phenomena, such as unconventional
superconductivity in magic‐angle twisted bilayer graphene, dissipationless Dirac fermions in …

Periodic and nanoporous monolayer polymers, the structures of which can be viewed as
molecular fishing nets, have been classified as 2D polymers. They have been previously …
