Quantum dot (QD) solids are promising optoelectronic materials; further advancing their device functionality depends on understanding their energy transport mechanisms. The commonly invoked near-field F\"orster resonance energy transfer…

Excitons play an essential role in the optical response of two-dimensional materials. These are bound states showing up in the band gaps of many-body systems and are conceived as quasiparticles formed by an electron and a hole. By…

For decades, ``geometry" in band theory has largely meant Berry phase and Berry curvature-quantities that reshape semiclassical dynamics and underpin modern topological matter. Yet the full geometric content of a Bloch band is richer and…
