Atomic-scale variations in semiconductor heterostructures, arising from strain, interfaces, and compositional modulation, strongly influence electronic band dispersion but remain difficult to probe and compare using first-principles methods…
Two-dimensional (2D) compounds provide unique building blocks for novel layered devices and hybrid photonic structures. However, large surface-to-volume ratio in thin films enhances the significance of surface interactions and charging…
Electronic spectra of typical single FeSe layer superconductors obtained from ARPES data reveal several puzzles: what is the origin of shallow and the so called "replica" bands near M-point and why the hole-like Fermi surfaces near…
Atomically thin materials, like semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (S-TMDs), are highly sensitive to the environment. This opens up an opportunity to externally control their properties by changing their surroundings. We…
The electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors can be significantly altered by screening effects, either from free charge carriers in the material itself, or by environmental screening from the surrounding medium. The…

Flat bands with small energy dispersion can give rise to strongly correlated electronic and topological phases, especially when located at the Fermi level. Whilst flat bands have been experimentally realized in two-dimensional (2D) twisted…
Tuning the opto-electronic properties through alloying is essential for semiconductor technology. Currently, mostly isovalent and isostructural alloys are used (e.g., group-IV and III-V), but a vast and unexplored space of novel functional…
