The large variety of 2D materials and their co-integration in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures enable innovative device engineering. In addition, their atomically-thin nature promotes the design of artificial materials by proximity…
The Hubbard model on the kagome lattice is presently often considered as a minimal model to describe the rich low-temperature behavior of AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ compounds (with A=K, Rb, Cs), including charge-density waves (CDWs),…
Atom scattering is becoming recognized as a sensitive probe of the electron-phonon interaction parameter $\lambda$ at metal and metal-overlayer surfaces. Here, the theory is developed linking $\lambda$ to the thermal attenuation of atom…
Quantum devices, which rely on quantum mechanical effects for their operation, may offer advantages, such as reduced dimensions, increased speed, and energy efficiency, compared to conventional devices. However, quantum phenomena are…
The theoretical description of sparse matter attracts much interest, in particular for those ground-state properties that can be described by density functional theory (DFT). One proposed approach, the van der Waals density functional…
The van der Waals (vdWs) forces between monolayers has been a unique distinguishing feature of exfoliable materials since the first isolation of graphene. However, the vdWs interaction of exfoliable materials with their substrates and how…
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures are an emergent class of metamaterials comprised of vertically stacked two-dimensional (2D) building blocks, which provide us with a vast tool set to engineer their properties on top of the already rich…
The past few years has brought renewed focus on the physics behind the class of materials characterized by long-range interactions and wide regions of low electron density, sparse matter. There is now much work on developing the appropriate…
Despite the tremendous progress in spintronic studies of van der Waals (vdW) room-temperature ferromagnet Fe3GaTe2, much less effort has been spent on its lattice dynamics and possible interaction with spintronic degrees of freedom. In this…
Van der Waals interactions between flat surfaces in uniaxial anisotropic media are investigated in the nonretarded limit. The main focus is the effect of nonzero tilt between the optical axis and the surface normal on the strength of van…
Both local geometry and collective, extended excitations drive the moves of a particle in the cage of its neighbours in dense liquids. The strength of their influence is investigated by Molecular Dynamics simulations of a supercooled liquid…
Recently there has been paid much attention to phenomena caused by local anharmonic vibrations of the guest ions encapsulated in polyhedral cages of materials such as pyrochlore oxides, filled skutterdites and clathrates. We theoretically…
For sparse materials like graphitic systems and carbon nanotubes the standard density functional theory (DFT) faces significant problems because it cannot accurately describe the van der Waals interactions that are essential to the…
Adhesion is a key issue for researchers of various fields, it is therefore of uppermost importance to understand the parameters that are involved. Commonly, only surface parameters are employed to determine the adhesive forces between…
Within the frame of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics in causal media, the van der Waals interaction between an atomic system and an arbitrary arrangement of dispersing and absorbing dielectric bodies including metals is studied. It is…
Layered materials with kagome lattice have attracted a lot of attention due to the presence of nontrivial topological bands and correlated electronic states with tunability. In this work, we investigate a unique van der Waals (vdW) material…
We present a new scheme to include the van der Waals (vdW) interactions in approximated Density Functional Theory (DFT) by combining the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator model with the Maximally Localized Wannier Function technique. With respect…
Graphene exhibits promise as a plasmonic material with high mode confinement that could enable efficient hot carrier extraction. We investigate the lifetimes and mean free paths of energetic carriers in free-standing graphene, graphite and…
The van der Waals (vdW) interactions exist in reality universally and play an important role in physics. Here, we show the study on the mechanism of vdW interactions on phonon transport in atomic scale, which would boost developments in…
Interlayer interactions in 2D materials, also known as van der Waals (vdWs) interactions, play a critical role in the physical properties of layered materials. It is fascinating to manipulate the vdWs interaction, and hence to "redefine"…
