TMDCs have attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their unique indirect to direct band gap transition from bulk to monolayer thickness. Strong confinement in the out-of-plane direction enhances the Coulomb potential between the…
Atomically thin materials such as graphene and monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit remarkable physical properties resulting from their reduced dimensionality and crystal symmetry. The family of semiconducting…
Dark matter (DM) scattering with nuclei in solid-state systems may produce elastic nuclear recoil at high energies and single-phonon excitation at low energies. When the dark matter momentum is comparable to the momentum spread of nuclei…
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) heterostructures have unique properties that depend on the twisting angle and stacking order of two or more monolayers. However, their practical applications are limited by the low photoluminescence…

The formation of a dense Bose-Einstein condensate in dark spin states of two-dimensional dipolar excitons is shown to be driven by a dynamical transition to the long-lived dark states. The condensate is stabilized by strong dipole-dipole…
Monolayer semiconductors, given their thickness at the atomic scale, present unique electrostatic environments due to the sharp interfaces between the semiconductor film and surrounding materials. These interfaces significantly impact both…
We use a simple model to describe the nonlinear dynamics of a dense two dimensional dipolar exciton gas. The model predicts an initial fast expansion due to dipole-dipole pressure, followed by a much slower diffusion. The model is in very…
We identify and characterize a first-order dark-state phase transition between a discrete dark soliton and a uniform superfluid in a Bose-Hubbard chain with a single lossy site. Using classical-field (truncated-Wigner) simulations together…
