Atomic-scale control over band alignment in single-layer lateral heterostructures (LHSs) of dissimilar transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is critical for nextgeneration electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum technologies. However,…
We study the electron-energy loss spectra of strongly correlated electronic systems doped away from half-filling using dynamical mean-field theory ($d=\infty$). The formalism can be used to study the loss spectra in the optical (${\bf…
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are among the most studied ones nowadays, because of their unique properties. These materials are made of, single- or few atom-thick layers assembled by van der Waals forces, hence allowing a variety of…
Two-dimensional (2D) platinum diselenide (PtSe$_2$) has received significant attention for 2D transistor applications due to its high mobility. Here, using molecular beam epitaxy, we investigate the growth of 2D PtSe$_2$ on highly oriented…
The dynamic structure factor (DSF) is a central quantity for interpreting a vast array of inelastic scattering experiments in chemistry and materials science, but its accurate simulation is a considerable challenge for classical…

The ability to control the size of the electronic bandgap is an integral part of solid-state technology. Atomically-thin two-dimensional crystals offer a new approach for tuning the energies of the electronic states based on the interplay…
The possibility of spatially resolving the optical properties of atomically thin materials is especially appealing as they can be modulated at the micro- and nanoscale by reducing their thickness, changing the doping level or applying a…
In the effort to make 2D materials-based devices smaller, faster, and more efficient, it is important to control charge carrier at lengths approaching the nanometer scale. Traditional gating techniques based on capacitive coupling through a…
The dielectric constant or relative permittivity of a dielectric material, which describes how the net electric field in the medium is reduced with respect to the external field, is a parameter of critical importance for charging and…
