Filamentary objects such as nano-wires, nanotubes and DNA are of current interest in physics, nanoscience, chemistry, biology and medicine. They can interact via strong, exceptionally long-ranged many-object van der Waals (vdW, dispersion)…
Highly customizable interfaces created by van der Waals stacked 2D materials provide an extremely flexible opportunity for engineering and effectively controlling material properties. The atomic-thin nature and strong scalability of…
We demonstrate the presence of quantum interference effects in van der Waals heterostructures subject to in-plane electric fields. The in-plane field $F$ accelerates carriers through a hybridized band edge, and interlayer Zener tunneling…
Twisted van der Waals heterostructures unravel a new platform to study strongly correlated quantum phases. The interlayer coupling in these heterostructures is sensitive to twist angles ($\theta$) and key to controllably tune several exotic…
Chiral spin textures such as skyrmions have attracted considerable attention due to their nontrivial topology, chirality, stability at the nanoscale, and potential for low-power spintronic devices. The recent discovery of intrinsic…
Van der Waals heterostructures have recently emerged as an exciting platform for investigating the effects of strong electronic correlations, including various forms of magnetic or electrical orders. Here, we perform an unbiased exact…
We study the dependence of the heat transfer and the van der Waals friction between two semi-infinite solids on the dielectric properties of the bodies. We show that the heat transfer and van der Waals friction at short separation between…
We predict the existence of high frequency modes in the interference pattern of two condensates made of fermionic-atom dimers. These modes, which result from fermion exchanges between condensates, constitute a striking signature of the…
Potential vibrational modes associated with diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) could be discerned by examining energy differences between correlated DIBs. Consequently, $\approx 10^3$ higher correlated DIB pairs ($r-\sigma_r \ge 0.8$, $\ge…
Interlayer van der Waals (vdW) coupling is generic in two-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides, which can induce very low-energy phonon modes. Using high-resolution inelastic hard x-ray scattering, we…
We present a resonance Raman study of the disorder-induced D mode in a sample highly enriched with semiconducting (9,7) single-walled carbon nanotubes in the excitation energy range of 1.49 - 2.05 eV. The intensity of the D mode shows a…
We investigate the influence of morphology and size on the vibrational properties of disordered clusters of colloidal particles with attractive interactions. From measurements of displacement correlations between particles in each cluster,…
Infrared combination bands of the polar isomer of the N2O dimer are observed for the first time, using a tunable infrared laser source to probe a pulsed slit-jet supersonic expansion in the N2O nu1 region (~2240 cm-1). One band involves the…
Moir\'e superlattices can induce correlated-electronic phases in twisted van-der-Waals materials. Strongly correlated quantum phenomena emerge, such as superconductivity and the Mott-insulating state. However, moir\'e superlattices produced…
The dispersion component of the van der Waals (vdW) interaction in low-dimensional metals is known to exhibit anomalous "Type-C non-additivity" [Int. J. Quantum Chem. 114, 1157 (2014)]. This causes dispersion energy behavior, at…
Vibrational spectroscopy has been widely employed to unravel physical-chemical properties of biological systems. Due to its high sensitivity to monitor real time "in situ" changes, Raman spectroscopy has been successfully employed, e.g., in…
Water is an ubiquitous liquid that has several exotic and anomalous properties. Despite its apparent simple chemical formula, its capability of forming a dynamic network of hydrogen bonds leads to a rich variety of physics. Here we study…
The role of interlayer bonds in the two-dimensional (2D) materials "beyond graphene" and so-called van der Waals heterostructures is vital, and understanding the nature of these bonds in terms of strength and type is essential due to a wide…
Compounds with two-dimensional (2D) layers of magnetic ions weakly connected by van der Waals bonding offer routes to enhance quantum behavior, stimulating both fundamental and applied interest. CrPS4 is one such magnetic van der Waals…
A GW calculation based on a truncated Coulomb interaction with an added small q limit was applied to 2D van der Waals heterolayered structures, and the Kane dispersion model was used to determine the accurate band gap edge. All ab initio…
