Optical properties of heterostructures composed of layered 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and graphene, are broadly explored. Of particular interest are light-induced energy transfer mechanisms in these…

Interlayer excitons are observed coexisting with intralayer excitons in bi-layer, few-layer, and bulk MoSe2 single crystals by confocal reflection contrast spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis using the Dirac-Bloch-Equations provides…

Space-resolved X-ray diffraction measurements performed on gradient-etched CuInGaSe2 (CIGS) solar cells provide information about stress and texture depth profiles in the absorber layer. An important parameter for CIGS layer growth…

Exciton binding energies of hundreds of meV and strong light absorption in the optical frequency range make transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) promising for novel optoelectronic nanodevices. In particular, atomically thin TMDs can be…

Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) has been currently established as a computationally cheaper, yet effective, alternative to the Many-Body Perturbation Theory (MBPT) for calculating the optical properties of solids. Within…

We present first-principles many-body calculations of the dielectric constant, quasiparticle band structure, and optical absorption spectrum of monolayer MoS$_2$ using a supercell approach. As the separation between the periodically…

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are regarded as a possible materials platform for quantum information science and related device applications. In TMD monolayers, the dephasing time and inhomogeneity are crucial parameters for any…

Recent measurements have shown that a continuously tunable bandgap of up to 250 meV can be generated in biased bilayer graphene [Y. Zhang et al., Nature 459, 820 (2009)], opening up pathway for possible graphene-based nanoelectronic and…

The electron-boson spectral density (or glue) function can be obtained from measured optical scattering rate by solving a generalized Allen formula, which relates the two quantities with an integral equation and is an inversion problem.…

X-ray diffraction based microscopy techniques such as High Energy Diffraction Microscopy rely on knowledge of the position of diffraction peaks with high precision. These positions are typically computed by fitting the observed intensities…

Excitonic effects in solids can be calculated using the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) or the Casida equation of time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). In both methods, the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA), which decouples…

We derive and motivate a Laplacian-level, orbital-free meta-generalized-gradient approximation (LL-MGGA) for the exchange-correlation energy, targeting accurate ground-state properties of $sp$ and $sd$ metallic condensed matter, in which…

Photon transport through a diffusing slab can be described by the radiative transfer equation (RTE). When the slab is highly scattering and weakly absorbing, the RTE simplifies to the diffusion equation. In this paper, an inverse diffusion…

Once a gravitational wave signal is detected, the measurement of its source parameters is important to achieve various scientific goals. This is done through Bayesian inference, where the analysis cost increases with the model complexity…

Our ability to efficiently detect and generate far-infrared (i.e., terahertz) radiation is vital in areas spanning from biomedical imaging to interstellar spectroscopy. Despite decades of intense research, bridging the terahertz gap between…

The excitonic spectra of single layer GeS and GeSe are predicted by ab initio GW-Bethe Salpeter equation calculations. G 0 W 0 calculations for the band structures find a fundamental band gap of 2.85 eV for GeS and 1.70 eV for GeSe…
