Unrevealing local magnetic and electronic correlations in the vicinity of charge carriers is crucial in order to understand rich physical properties in correlated electron systems. Here, using high-energy optical conductivity (up to 35 eV)…
Spin-entangled excitons have emerged as intriguing quasi-particle excitations in van der Waals magnets. Among them, the recently observed Zhang-Rice (ZR) exciton in NiPS3 has garnered significant research interest due to its strong…
Light-matter interactions can be used as a tool to realize novel many-body states of matter and to study the interplay between electronic and magnetic degrees of freedom. In particular, tightly bound many-body states that behave as coherent…
Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS) was used to measure the local electronic structure in few-layer exfoliated flakes of the van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS$_3$. The resulting spectra show a systematic softening and broadening of…
We present a theory of local electric polarization in crystalline solids and apply it to study the case of wurtzite group-III nitrides. We show that a local value of the electric polarization, evaluated at the atomic sites, can be cast in…
Strong coupling between light and elementary excitations is emerging as a powerful tool to engineer the properties of solid-state systems. Spin-correlated excitations that couple strongly to optical cavities promise control over collective…
Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures (HSs) provide a versatile platform for tailoring electronic, optical, and magnetic properties via proximity effects at their interfaces. In this work, we explore the optical response…
The construction of the Zhang-Rice singlet is revisited in the light of recent understanding of high-temperature superconductors at optimal doping. A minimal local model is derived which contains the physical regime found relevant for ARPES…
Fundamental properties of spontaneous and piezo polarization are reformulated and critically reviewed. It was demonstrated that Landau definition of polarization as a dipole density could be used to the infinite systems. The difference…
Two-dimensional antiferromagnets are promising materials for spintronics. The van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS$_3$ has attracted extensive interest due to its ultra-narrow exciton feature which is closely linked with the magnetic…
We present the first ab-initio band-theory-based description of spin-compensated polarons (known as Zhang-Rice singlets) in a hole-doped cuprate, specifically one-dimensional Ca_{2+x} Y_{2-x} Cu_5 O_10. Zhang-Rice singlets are many-particle…
Strong charge-spin coupling is found in a layered transition-metal trichalcogenide NiPS3, a van derWaals antiferromagnet, from our study of the electronic structure using several experimental and theoretical tools: spectroscopic…
Cuprate materials, like those hosting high temperature superconductivity, represent a famous class of materials where the correlations between the strongly entangled charges and spins produce complex phase diagrams. Several years ago the…
The coupling between electronic excitations and lattice deformation in van der Waals ferroelectrics is governed by a competition between the electron deformation potential and the inverse piezoelectric effect. While theory predicts that…
We report polarized photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of the negative trion in single charge tunable InAs/GaAs quantum dots. The spectrum exhibits a p-shell resonance with polarized fine structure arising from the direct excitation…
Neutron spectroscopy measurements have been performed on single crystals of the antiferromagnetic van der Waals compound NiPS$_3$. Linear spin wave theory using a Heisenberg Hamiltonian with single-ion anisotropies has been applied to…
By means of ab initio calculations and spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy experiments we show how to manipulate the local spin-polarization of a ferromagnetic surface by creating a complex energy dependent magnetic structure. We…
We theoretically showed that the spontaneous polarization in ferroelectric (FE) nanowires (NWs) can be considerably enhanced due to the nanosize confinement by the first-principles calculations. The spontaneous polarization along the wire…
The recently discovered two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals magnet NiPS$_3$ provides a new route to examine many-body quasiparticles under 2D confinement. Excitons are of particular interest due to their strong coupling to the magnetic…
Huge built-in electric fields have been predicted to exist in wurtzite III-V nitrides thin films and multilayers. Such fields originate from heterointerface discontinuities of the macroscopic bulk polarization of the nitrides. Here we…
