We study the spontaneous emission, the absorption and dispersion properties of a ${\bf \Lambda}$-type atom where one transition interacts near resonantly with a double-band photonic crystal. Assuming an isotropic dispersion relation near…
Sondheimer oscillations (SO) are magnetoresistance oscillations occurring in thin films due to the commensurability between cyclotron motion and sample thickness, and are traditionally regarded as a purely semiclassical size effect. Here we…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), together with other two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted great interest due to the unique optical and electrical properties of atomically thin layers. In order to fulfill their potential,…
The heteroepitaxial growth of Re (0001) films on Nb (110) surfaces has been investigated. Nb/Re bilayers were grown on A-plane sapphire -- alpha-Al2O3 (11-20) -- by molecular beam epitaxy. While Re grew with a (0001) surface, the in-plane…
Recent high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments have given a reason to believe that pure bismuth is topologically non-trivial semimetal. We derive an analytic theory of surface and size-quantized states of Dirac…
Atomically thin PtSe2 films have attracted extensive research interests for potential applications in high-speed electronics, spintronics and photodetectors. Obtaining high quality, single crystalline thin films with large size is critical.…
Optically driven quantum materials exhibit a variety of non-equilibrium functional phenomena [1-11], which are potentially associated with unique transport properties. However, these transient electrical responses have remained largely…
The properties of photoemission electron sources determine the ultimate performance of a wide class of electron accelerators and photon detectors. To date, all high-efficiency visible-light photocathode materials are either polycrystalline…
We present our study of (0001) oriented Mn$_3$Sn (c-Mn$_3$Sn) thin films synthesized directly on an MgO (111) substrate via molecular beam epitaxy. We identify a growth window where Mn$_3$Sn growth can be controlled through slight…
Uniform and large area synthesis of bulk insulating ultrathin films is an important subject toward applications of a surface of three dimensional topological insulators (3D-TIs) in various electronic devices. Here we report epitaxial growth…
The electron-phonon interaction in thin Ag-nanofilms epitaxially grown on Cu(111) is investigated by temperature-dependent and angle-resolved photoemission from silver quantum-well states. Clear oscillations in the electron-phonon coupling…
Active metasurfaces, compact platforms for nanoscale light manipulation, are transforming technologies like holography, quantum cryptography, and optical computing. Despite their versatility, tunability in metasurfaces has mainly relied on…
We study analytically the evolution of superconductivity in clean quasi-two-dimensional multiband supercon- ductors as the film thickness enters the nanoscale region by mean-field and semiclassical techniques. Tunneling into the substrate…
Exact and asymptotic lineshape expressions are derived from the semi-classical density matrix representation describing a set of closed three-level atomic or molecular states including decoherences, relaxation rates and light-shifts. An…

Atomically sharp epitaxial growth of Bi2Se3 films is achieved on Si (111) substrate with MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy). Two-step growth process is found to be a key to achieve interfacial-layer-free epitaxial Bi2Se3 films on Si substrates.…
We explore the phonon dynamics of thin films of the topological insulator material Bi2Se2Te using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy. The time resolved differential reflectivity of the films exhibit fast and slow oscillations. We have given…
Transition metal oxide heterostructures and interfaces host a variety of exciting quantum phases and can be grown with atomic-scale precision by utilising the intensity oscillations of $in$ $situ$ reflection high-energy electron diffraction…
A phenomenological thermodynamic theory of BaxSr(1-x)TiO3 (BST-x) thin films epitaxially grown on cubic substrates is developed using the Landau-Devonshire approach. The eighth-order thermodynamic potential for BT single crystal and…
Epitaxial NbO2 (110) films, 20 nm thick, were grown by pulsed laser deposition on Al2O3 (0001) substrates. The Ar/O2 total pressure during growth was varied to demonstrate the gradual transformation between NbO2 and Nb2O5 phases, which was…
