In great contrast to the numerous discoveries of superconductivity in layer-stacked graphene systems, the absence of superconductivity in the simplest and cleanest monolayer graphene remains a big puzzle. Here, through realistic computation…

The report studies transformation of a Ge granular film deposited at room temperature on the Si(001) surface to the Ge/Si(001) heterostructure as a result of rapid heating and annealing at 600C. As a result of the short-term annealing at…

Structural lubricity arises typically at incommensurate, well-defined dry contacts where short-range elastic instability is significantly mitigated. However, under ambient conditions, airborne molecules adsorb onto solid surfaces, forming…

Possibility of a quartet superfluidity in fermionic systems is studied as a new aspect of atomic gas at ultra low temperatures. The four-fold degeneracy of hyperfine state and moderate coupling is indispensable for the quartet superfluidity…

Moduli spaces of doubly periodic monopoles, also called monopole walls or monowalls, are hyperk\"ahler; thus, when four-dimensional, they are self-dual gravitational instantons. We find all monowalls with lowest number of moduli. Their…

We explore ways in which the close proximity between graphene sheets and monolayers of 2D superconductors can lead to hybridization between their collective excitations. We consider heterostructures formed by combinations of graphene sheets…

Uniform, mostly single-layer graphene with enhanced stability is demonstrated over Co film. The polycrystalline Co film deposited on a SiO2/Si substrate gives a continuous graphene layer that is easily transferred without the aid of any…

Supersolidity - a coexistence of superfluidity and crystalline or amorphous density variations - has been vividly debated ever since its conjecture. While the initial focus was on helium-4, recent experiments uncovered supersolidity in…

Cu is most used substrate to grow monolayer graphene under a temperature near melting point. In this study, we elaborated a remarkable amount of Cu clusters were continuously evaporated during the graphene growth, resulting into the vapor…

Single-atom-thick two-dimensional materials such as graphene usually have a hexagonal lattice while the square-planar lattice is uncommon in the family of two-dimensional materials. Here, we demonstrate that single-atom-thick transition…

In these lecture notes we review some recent attempts at searching for non-Fermi liquids and novel quantum phase transitions in holographic systems using gauge/gravity duality. We do this by studying the simplest finite density system…

We present a path integral Monte Carlo study of the global superfluid fraction and local superfluid density in cylindrically-symmetric reservoirs of liquid $^{4}$He separated by nanoaperture arrays. The superfluid response to both…

Graphene nanostructures exhibit an intrinsic advantage in relation to the gate delay in three-terminal devices and provide additional benefits when operate in the quantum capacitance limit. In this paper, we developed a simple model that…

The realization of experimental platforms exhibiting one dimensional (1D) quantum phenomena has been elusive, due to their inherent lack of stability, with a few notable exceptions including spin chains, carbon nanotubes and ultracold…

The structural and dynamical properties of OCS molecules solvated in Helium clusters are studied using reptation quantum Monte Carlo, for cluster sizes n=3-20 He atoms. Computer simulations allow us to establish a relation between the…

Electrons in image-potential states on the surface of bulk helium represent a unique model system of a two-dimensional electron gas. Here, we investigate their properties in the extreme case of reduced film thickness: a monolayer of helium…

Interactions of magnetic elements with graphene may lead to various electronic states that have potential applications. We report an in-situ experiment in which the quantum transport properties of graphene are measured with increasing…

This work reports an investigation into the solid phase behavior and melting behavior of tetracosane (C24H50) monolayers and bilayers physisorbed onto the graphite basal plane using molecular dynamics simulations performed in the constant…

We re-examine the model proposed by Alexander et al. (2006) for the closing of a circular hole in a molecularly thin incompressible Langmuir film situated on a Stokesian subfluid. For simplicity their model assumes that the surface phase is…

A recent claim of possible superfluid behaviour of parahydrogen films intercalated within a crystalline matrix of Na atoms is examined. Quantum Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperature yield strong numerical evidence that the system…
