Correlated charge inhomogeneity breaks the electron-hole symmetry in two-dimensional (2D) bilayer heterostructures which is responsible for non-zero drag appearing at the charge neutrality point. Here we report Coulomb drag in novel drag…

We study the Coulomb drag between two spatially separated electron systems in a strong magnetic field, one of which exhibits the quantum Hall effect. At a fixed temperature, the drag mimics the behavior of $\sigma_{xx}$ in the quantum Hall…
In this work, we employ the LDA, GGA and GGA with four vdW corrections to study crystal and electronic structures of bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with different twist angles. We find the GGA interlayer distance of bilayer…
We calculate theoretically the Coulomb drag resistivity for two graphene monolayers spatially separated by a distance "$d$". We show that the frictional drag induced by inter-layer electron-electron interaction goes asymptotically as…

The dispersion of Rashba-split heavy-hole subbands in GaAs two-dimensional hole gases (2DHGs) is difficult to access experimentally because strong heavy-hole-light-hole mixing produces non-parabolicity and breaks the usual correspondence…
We present a simple model for the electron-phonon interactions between the energy subbands in polyacene field-effect transistors and the vibrations of the crystal. We introduce a generalized Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, arguing that the…
To make complementary GaN electronics more than a pipe dream, it is essential to understand the low mobility of 2D hole gases in III-Nitride heterostructures. This work derives both the acoustic and optical phonon spectra present in one of…
We observe the interlayer A1s^I, A2s^I, and B1s^I excitons in bilayer WSe2 under applied electric fields using reflectance contrast spectroscopy. Remarkably, these interlayer excitons remain optically bright despite being well separated…
Digital video-microscopy measurements are reported of both elastic bandstructures and overdamped phonon decay times in two-dimensional colloidal crystals. Both quantities together allow to determine the friction coefficients along various…
A new model of momentum and electric field transfer between two adjacent 2D electron systems in the Quantum Hall Effect is proposed. The drag effect is due to momentum transfer from the vortex system of one layer to the vortex system of…
The presence of a dispersed phase can significantly modulate the drag in turbulent systems. We derived a conserved quantity that characterizes the radial transport of azimuthal momentum in the fluid-fluid two-phase Taylor-Couette…

Heat transport by acoustic phonons in 2D materials is fundamentally different from that in 3D crystals because the out-of-plane phonons propagate in a unique way that strongly depends on tension and bending rigidity. Since in-plane and…
We have observed reproducible fluctuations of the Coulomb drag, both as a function of magnetic field and electron concentration, which are a manifestation of quantum interference of electrons in the layers. At low temperatures the…
