The Weyl semimetal WTe$_{2}$ has shown several correlated electronic behaviors, such as the quantum spin Hall effect, superconductivity, ferroelectricity, and a possible exciton insulator state, all of which can be tuned by various physical…
III-nitride wide bandgap semiconductors exhibit large exciton binding energies, preserving strong excitonic effects at room temperature. On the other hand, semiconducting two-dimensional (2D) materials, including MoS$_2$, also exhibit…
Topological semimetals are renowned for exhibiting large, unsaturated magnetoresistance arising from ultrahigh carrier mobility and electron-hole compensation. However, such behaviors remain poorly understood in iron-based superconductors…

Superconductivity in alkali-intercalated iron selenide, with T_c's of 30K and above, may have a different origin than that of the other Fe-based superconductors, since it appears that the Fermi surface does not have any holelike sheets…
Ab initio electronic structure calculations show that the recently identified quasi-two-dimensional electride Y$_2$C is a weak itinerant ferromagnet or at least close to a ferromagnetic instability. The ferromagnetism is induced by the…
Strong electron-hole interactions in a semimetal or narrow-gap semiconductor may drive a ground state of condensed excitons. Monolayer WTe2 has been proposed as a host material for such an exciton condensate, but the order parameter - the…
