We present a time- and angular-resolved photoemission (TR-ARPES) study of the transition- metal dichalcogenide WTe2, a candidate type II Weyl semimetal exhibiting extremely large magne- toresistence. Using femtosecond light pulses, we…
Magnetic skyrmions, topologically nontrivial whirling spin textures at nanometer scales, have emerged as potential information carriers for spintronic devices. The ability to efficiently create and erase magnetic skyrmions is vital yet…
Quasi-2D van der Waals ferromagnet Fe$_4$GeTe$_2$, featuring the simultaneous presence of high Curie temperature ($T_\mathrm{C}$ $\sim 270$ K) and a spin-reorientation transition at $T_\mathrm{SR}$ $\sim 110$ K, is a rare system where…
There is an immense effort in search for various types of Weyl semimetals, of which the most fundamental phase consists of the minimal number of i.e. two Weyl points, but is hard to engineer in solids. Here we demonstrate how such…
We report a configuration strategy for improving the thermoelectric (TE) performance of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) WS2 based on the experimentally prepared WS2/WSe2 lateral superlattice (LS) crystal. On the…

Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit intriguing fundamental physics of strongly coupled spin and valley degrees of freedom for charge carriers. While the possibility of exploiting these properties for…
Cubic energy materials such as thermoelectrics or hybrid perovskite materials are often understood to be highly disordered. In GeTe and related IV-VI compounds, this is thought to provide the low thermal conductivities needed for…

Strong spin-orbit coupling, resulting in the formation of spin-momentum-locked surface states, endows topological insulators with superior spin-to-charge conversion characteristics, though the dynamics that govern it have remained elusive.…

Spin wave frequencies are observed in ultra-thin Fe/GaAs(100) films at temperatures where the spontaneous zero field magnetization is zero. The films exhibit good cyrstalline structure, and the effect of magnetic anisotropies is apparent…
Although Weyl fermions have proven elusive in high-energy physics, their existence as emergent quasiparticles has been predicted in certain crystalline solids in which either inversion or time-reversal symmetry is…
Transverse-field muon-spin-rotation measurements have been carried out for polycrystalline ThPt4Ge12. The magnetic penetration depth $\lambda$ and the superconducting coherence length $\xi$ in the vortex state of this compound were found to…

The complex surface impedance is a well-established tool to study the super- and normal-fluid responses of superconductors. Fundamental properties of the superconductor, such as the pairing mechanism, Fermi surface, and topological…
The anisotropic spin glass transition, in which spin freezing is observed only along the c-axis in pseudobrookite Fe$_2$TiO$_5$, has long been perplexing because the Fe$^{3+}$ moments (d$^5$) are expected to be isotropic. Recently, neutron…
We investigate the nonequilibrium photocarrier dynamics of WTe2 under pressure using the optical pump-probe spectroscopy. The pressure dependences of the electronic relaxation manifest anomalous changes around 0.8, 3.5, and 6 GPa,…
Topological quantum materials can exhibit unconventional surface states and anomalous transport properties. Still, their applications in spintronic devices are restricted as they require the growth of high-quality thin films with bulk-like…
