Subatomic systems are pivotal for understanding fundamental baryonic interactions, as they provide direct access to quark-level degrees of freedom. In particular, introducing a strange quark adds "strangeness" as a new dimension, offering a…
The optoelectronic properties of metal chalcogenide colloidal nanoplatelets are often interpreted in terms of excitonic states. However, recent spectroscopic experiments evidence the presence of trion states, enabled by the slow Auger…
