The structural, vibrational, and optical properties of Rb$_2$TeBr$_6$ have been investigated under high pressure using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), and optical absorption measurements. At…
We study the possibility of pressure-induced transitions from a normal semiconductor to a topological insulator (TI) in bismuth tellurohalides using density functional theory and tight-binding method. In BiTeI this transition is realized…
The phase transitions among polymorphic two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted increasing attention for their potential in enabling distinct functionalities in the same material for making integrated…
At high pressure, the typical behavior of elements dictated by the periodic table - including oxidation numbers, stoichiometries in compounds, and reactivity, to name but a few - is altered dramatically. As pressure is applied, the…
The evolution of pressure induced superconductivity in single crystal as well as polycrystalline samples of BaFe2As2 has been investigated through temperature dependent electrical resistivity studies in 0-7 GPa pressure range. While the…
High pressure in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments were performed on Ag2Te up to 42.6 GPa at room temperature and four phases were identified. Phase I ({\beta}-Ag2Te) transformed into phase II at 2.4 GPa, and phase III and…
A superstructure can elicit versatile new properties of materials by breaking their original geometrical symmetries. It is an important topic in the layered graphene-like two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), but its…
Topological superconductivity with Majorana bound states, which are critical to implement nonabelian quantum computation, may be realized in three-dimensional semimetals with nontrivial topological feature, when superconducting transition…

Three Mo-based transition metal dichalcogenides MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$ and MoTe$_2$ share at ambient conditions the same structure 2H$_c$, consisting of layers where Mo atoms are surrounded by six chalcogen atoms in trigonal prism coordination.…
Uranium ditelluride (UTe$_2$) has attracted recent interest due to its unique superconducting properties, which include the potential for a topological odd-parity superconducting state. Recently, ac-calorimetry measurements under pressure…
