In 1827, German scientist Georg Ohm published Ohm's law of constant electrical resistance in metals. Ohm's Law is one of the unbreakable rules of experience for nearly two centuries after its discovery. It was recently discovered that Ohm's law, which never seemed to be broken, was not established in BiSb alloys. The BiSb alloy whose energy band is twisted becomes a topological metal (Weyl...
Realizing novel electronic states in two-dimensional chalcogenides, complex oxides, and their heterostructures, which result from the reduced dimensionality and interfacial interactions with the nearby substrate, is of great interest from both fundamental and technological perspectives. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is one of the most advanced synthesis techniques for the growth of materials...
The rise of 2D materials makes it possible to form heterostructures held together by weak interplanar van der Waals interactions. The incorporation of organic molecules within these systems holds an immense potential. Whilst nature offers a finite number of 2D materials, an almost unlimited variety of molecules can be designed and synthesized with predictable functionalities. The possibilities...
