Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides in the distorted octahedral 1T$^\prime$ phase exhibit a large bulk bandgap and gapless boundary states, which is an asset in the ongoing quest for topological electronics. In single-layer tungsten…

Van der Waals assembly enables exquisite design of electronic states in two-dimensional (2D) materials, often by superimposing a long-wavelength periodic potential on a crystal lattice using moir\'e superlattices. Here we show that…
Emergent Dirac fermions provide the starting point to understanding the plethora of novel condensed matter phases. The nature of the associated phases and phase transitions crucially depends on both the emergent symmetries as well as the…
An ideal material for on-board hydrogen storage must release hydrogen at practical temperature and pressure and also regenerate efficiently under similarly gentle conditions. Therefore, thermodynamically, the hydride material must lie…
Friction accounts for up to 30% of global energy consumption, underscoring the urgent need for superlubricity in advanced materials. Two-dimensional (2D) electrides are layered materials with cationic layers separated by 2D confined…
Van der Waals materials enable the construction of atomically sharp interfaces between compounds with distinct crystal and electronic properties. This is dramatically exploited in moir\'e systems, where a lattice mismatch or twist between…

Single-atom catalysts are considered as a promising method for efficient energy conversion, owing to their advantages of high atom utilization and low catalyst cost. However, finding a stable two-dimensional structure and high hydrogen…
The energy-momentum relationship of electrons on the surface of an ideal "Hydrogen-Atom" Topological Insulator forms a cone - a Dirac cone, which, when warped and distorted (no longer described by the Dirac equation), can lead to unusual…
Titanium borates show promissing hydrogen storage characteristics. Structural relaxation around individual hydrogen atoms and the binding energies are studied by means of the density functional theory methods for a number of hydrogenated…
We analyze the topological properties of the possible superconducting states emerging from a Cd$_3$As$_2$-like, $\mathcal{C}_4$-symmetric Dirac semimetal, with two four-fold degenerate Dirac points separated in the $k_z$ direction. Unlike…

Quite recently a novel variety of unconventional fourfold linear band degeneracy points has been discovered in certain condensed-matter systems. Contrary to the standard 3-D Dirac monopoles, these quadruple points referred to as the…

Moir\'e superlattices of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) host strongly interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures in which bosonic excitons coexist with correlated electron lattices. Using ultrafast, time- and energy-resolved photoluminescence…
Due to the large-period superlattices emerging in moire two-dimensional (2D) materials, electronic states in such systems exhibit low energy flat bands that can be used to simulate strongly correlated physics in a highly tunable setup.…

Flat bands and Dirac cones in materials are at the source of the exotic electronic and topological properties. The Lieb lattice is expected to host these electronic structures, arising from quantum destructive interference. Nevertheless,…
Lateral superlattices in 2D materials are emerging as a powerful platform for exploring novel quantum phenomena, which can be realized through the proximity coupling in forming moir\'e pattern with another layer. This approach, however, is…
