Electronic structures of the quantum critical superconductor beta-YbAlB4 and its polymorph alpha-YbAlB4 are investigated by using bulk-sensitive hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. From the Yb 3d core level spectra, the values of the Yb…

The intermetallic compound Fe2VAl looks non-metallic in transport and strongly metallic in thermodynamic and photoemission data. It has in its band structure a highly differentiated set of valence and conduction bands leading to a…

The bulk electronic structure of Al-Pd-Ru quasicrystal (QC) have been investigated by hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES). We have found an intrinsic pseudogap structure in which the spectral weight in the vicinity of the Fermi…

Quantum emitters in layered materials are promising candidates for applications in nanophotonics. Here we present a technique based on charge transfer to graphene for measuring the charge transition levels ($\rm E_t$) of fluorescent defects…

Hexagonal boron nitride is a wide bandgap semiconductor with a very high thermal and chemical stability often used in devices operating under extreme conditions. The growth of high-purity crystals has recently revealed the potential of this…

In multi-band systems, electrons from different orbitals coexist at the Fermi surface. An attractive interaction among these quasi-particles gives rise to inter-band or hybrid pairs which eventually condense in a superconducting state.…

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors isoelectronic to phosphorene has been drawing much attention recently due to their promising applications for next-generation (opt)electronics. This family of 2D materials contains more than 400 members,…

Ca1-xSrxVO3 is a Mott-Hubbard-type correlated electron system whose bandwidth can be varied by the V-O-V bond angle, but the actual effect of bandwidth control on the electronic structure has been controversial in previous photoemission…

The magnetotransport behaviour inside the nematic phase of bulk FeSe reveals unusual multiband effects that cannot be reconciled with a simple two-band approximation proposed by surface-sensitive spectroscopic probes. In order to understand…

We present an angle-resolved photoemission study of a ternary phase change material, namely Ge2Sb2Te5, epitaxially grown on Si(111) in the metastable cubic phase. The observed upper bulk valence band shows a minimum at Gamma-bar being 0.3…

We investigate the influence of impurities and vacancies in the formation of magnetic moment in CaB6 using full potential ab initio band structure calculations. CaB6 is found to be a band insulator with a band gap of about 0.2 eV. The…

Semi-Dirac fermions are massless in one direction and massive in the perpendicular directions. Such quasiparticles have been proposed in various contexts in condensed matter. Using first principles calculations, we identify a pair of…

The performance of organic semiconductor devices is linked to highly-ordered nanostructures of self-assembled molecules and polymers. We employ many-body perturbation theory and study the excited states in bulk compolymers. We discover that…

Carrier doping by the electric field effect has emerged recently as an ideal route for monitoring many-body physics in two-dimensional (2D) materials where the Fermi level is tuned in a way that -- indirectly -- the strength of the…

Signatures of nodal line/point superconductivity have been observed in half-Heusler compounds, such as LnPtBi (Ln = Y, Lu). Topologically non-trivial band structures, as well as topological surface states, has also been confirmed by…

We argue that because of valence-fluctuation caused dynamical changes (fluctuations) of impurity energies in an impurity band of valence fluctuating semiconductors both occupied and unoccupied sites can be found in the impurity band above…

First principle calculations based on LDA/GGA approximation for the exchange functional underestimate the position of the semi core 3d levels in GaX (X = N, P and As) semiconductors. A self-interaction correction scheme within the…

Conventional superconductivity follows Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer(BCS) theory of electrons-pairing in momentum-space, while superfluidity is the Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) of atoms paired in real-space. These properties of solid metals…

Superconducting mechanism mediated by interband exchange Coulomb repulsion is examined in an extended two-band Hubbard models with a wide band crossing the Fermi level and coexisting with a narrower band located at moderately lower energy.…

Using angle-resolved synchrotron-radiation photoemission spectroscopy we have determined the dispersion of the valence bands of BeTe(100) along $\Gamma X$, i.e. the [100] direction. The measurements are analyzed with the aid of a…
