Tunability of polar and semiconducting properties of low-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have propelled them to the forefront of fundamental and applied physical research. These materials can vary from non-polar to…

Manipulating topological disclination networks that arise in a symmetry-breaking phase transfor- mation in widely varied systems including anisotropic materials can potentially lead to the design of novel materials like conductive…

Due to their combination of mechanical stiffness and flexibility, two-dimensional (2D) materials have received significant interest as potential electromechanical materials. Flexoelectricity is an electromechanical coupling between strain…

Proximity effects allow for the adjustment of magnetic properties in a physically elegant way. If two thin ferromagnetic (FM) films are brought into contact, electronic coupling alters their magnetic exchange interaction at their interface.…

We theoretically investigate the electric field-tuning plasmons and plasmon-phonon couplings of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as monolayer MoS2, under the consideration of spin-orbit coupling. It is…

It is highly desirable to discover an electromechanical coupling that allows a dielectric material to generate curvature in response to a uniform electric field, which would add a new degree of freedom for designing actuators.…

2D bismuth oxyselenide (Bi2O2Se) with high electron mobility shows great potential for nanoelectronics. Although in-plane properties of Bi2O2Se have been widely studied, its out-ofplane electrical transport behavior remains elusive, despite…

Spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at oxide interfaces is an emerging physical phenomenon, which is technologically important for potential device applications. However, most previous relevant studies only focused on the…
