Dynamic metamolecules (DMMs) are composed of a dielectric core made of hydrogel surrounded by randomly-packed plasmonic beads that can display magnetic resonances when excited by light at optical frequencies. Their optical properties can be…
The electronic and optical properties of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and van der Waals heterostructures are strongly subject to their dielectric environment. In each layer the field lines of the Coulomb interaction are…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) of single and few-layer thickness was exfoliated on SiO2/Si substrate and characterized by Raman spectroscopy. The number of S-Mo-S layers of the samples was independently determined by contact-mode atomic-force…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an exciting family of 2D materials; a member of this family, MoS$_2$, became the first measured monolayer semiconductor. In this article, a generalized phenomenological continuum model for the…
The unconventional thermal properties of jammed amorphous solids are directly related to their density of vibrational states. While the vibrational spectrum of jammed soft sphere solids has been fully described, the vibrational spectrum of…
We investigated the valence electronic structure of diamondoid particles in the gas phase, utilizing valence photoelectron spectroscopy. The samples were singly or doubly covalently bonded dimers or trimers of the lower diamondoids. Both…
We derive the complete form of the van der Waals dispersion interaction between two infinitely long anisotropic semiconducting/insulating thin cylinders at all separations. The derivation is based on the general theory of dispersion…
We reveal stacking-induced strong coupling between atomic motion and interlayer excitons through photocurrent measurements of WSe$_2$/MoSe$_2$ heterojunction photodiodes. Strong coupling manifests as pronounced periodic sidebands in the…
The vibrational properties of three sodosilicate glasses have been investigated in the framework of Density Functional Theory. The pure vibrational density of states has been calculated for all systems and the different vibrational modes…
Exotic properties in single or few layers of van der Waals materials carry great promise for applications in nanoscaled electronics, optoelectronics and flexible devices. The established, distinct examples include extremely high mobility…
Understanding the fundamental processes of light-matter interaction is important for detection of explosives and other energetic materials, which are active in the infrared and terahertz (THz) region. We report a comprehensive study on…
We present a systematic study of interaction induced dipole electric properties of all molecular dimers in the S66 set, relying on CCSD(T)-F12b/aug-cc-pVDZ-F12 as reference level of theory. For field strengths up to $\approx$5 GV m$^{-1}$…
The vibrational properties of a series of push-pull polyynes have been studied by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The simultaneous activation of a strong infrared and Raman mode, i.e. the collective vibration of CC bonds of the sp carbon…
The collective excitations of electrons in the bulk or at the surface, namely plasmons, play an important role in the properties of materials, and have generated the field of plasmonics. We report the observation of a highly unusual plasmon…
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) nanosheets exhibit remarkable electronic and optical properties. The 2D features, sizable bandgaps, and recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and device fabrication of…
2D van der Waals heterostructures (vdWH) can result in novel functionality that crucially depends on interfacial structure and disorder. Bubbles at the vdWH interface can modify the interfacial structure. We probe the dynamics of a bubble…
The dispersion interaction between a pair of parallel DNA double-helix structures is investigated by means of the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) method. Each double-helix structure consists of an infinite repetition of one B-DNA…
Atomically thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit exceptionally strong Coulomb interaction between charge carriers due to the two-dimensional carrier confinement in connection with weak dielectric screening. The van…
Due to a strong Coulomb interaction, excitons dominate the excitation kinetics in 2D materials. While Coulomb-scattering between electrons has been well studied, the interaction of excitons is more challenging and remains to be explored. As…
Diamondoids are a unique form of carbon nanostructure best described as hydrogen-terminated diamond molecules. Their diamond-cage structures and tetrahedral sp3 hybrid bonding create new possibilities for tuning electronic band gaps,…
