The growth of information technology has been sustained by the miniaturization of Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) Field-Effect Transistors (FETs), with the number of devices per unit area constantly increasing, as exemplified by Mooreâs la ...
Controlling the excitonic optical properties of room temperature semiconductors using time-dependent perturbations is key to future optoelectronic applications. The optical Stark effect in bulk and low-dimensional materials has recently shown exciton shift ...

We propose a method by which the quantization of the Hall conductance can be directly measured in the transport of a one-dimensional atomic gas. Our approach builds on two main ingredients: (1) a constriction optical potential, which generates a mesoscopic ...
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in particular graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC), have attracted great scientific interest over the last decade, revealing exceptional mechanical, electrical and optical properties. Owing to their layered n ...
Rashba spin-orbit coupling emerges in materials lacking of structural inversion symmetry, such as heterostructures, quantum wells, surface alloys and polar materials, just to mention few examples. It yields a coupling between the spin and momentum of elect ...
We investigate the possible occurrence of field-effect induced superconductivity in the hydrogenated (111) diamond surface by first-principles calculations. By computing the band alignment between bulk diamond and the hydrogenated surface, we show that the ...
Tri-Anode GaN Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) have recently shown excellent DC performance with low turn-on voltage and large breakdown thanks to their 3D contact structure around the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) channel. However, the 3D nature of th ...
We investigate spin states of few electrons in a double quantum dot by coupling them to a magnetic field resilient NbTiN microwave resonator. The electric field of the resonator couples to the electric dipole moment of the charge states in the double dot. ...
Organic-inorganic lead halide perovskite absorbers in combination with electron and hole transporting selective contacts result in power conversion efficiencies of over 23% under AM 1.5 sun conditions. The advantage of perovskite solar cells is their simpl ...
The search for and understanding of low-dimensional magnetic materials is essential for both fundamental and technological purposes. Here we propose a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of such a system, namely the monoclinic phase of SeCu ...
