Defect centers in insulators play a critical role in creating important functionalities in
materials: prototype qubits, single-photon sources, magnetic field probes, and pressure …

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have a variety of unique properties─
mechanical flexibility, bandgaps in the visible region, strain tunability, and more─ making …

We present an atomically precise technique to create sulfur vacancies and control their
atomic configurations in single-layer MoS 2. It involves adsorbed Fe atoms and the tip of a …

We investigate the valley relaxation due to intervalley coupling in a single-electron bilayer
graphene quantum dot. The valley relaxation is assisted by both the emission of acoustic …

The defect structure leads to the fracture and recombination of chemical bonds, lattice
distortion, electron localization, etc., which has a significant improvement on the physical …

Electrons in solids owe their properties to the periodic potential landscapes they experience.
The advent of moir\'e lattices has revolutionized our ability to engineer such landscapes on …
