Excitons, bound states between an electron (i.e., a negatively charged particle) and a hole (i.e., the absence of an electron) in materials, are a key focus of condensed matter physics studies. These ...

Emergent strongly correlated electronic phenomena in atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides are an exciting frontier in condensed matter physics, with examples ranging from bilayer ...

Researchers demonstrate orbital hybridization in graphene-based quantum dots, revealing how anisotropic confinement influences electronic states at the atomic scale. Quantum dots, often described as ...

Peking University, March 19, 2025: A research team led by Professor Sun Qing-Feng in colloboration with Professor He Lin’s research group from Beijing Normal University has achieved orbital ...

In a heavy-fermion material, hybridization of conduction electrons and electrons in partially filled core-levels enhances the mass of charge carriers. Now, experiments using a two-dimensional ...

Interactions between atoms and molecules are facilitated by electromagnetic fields. The bigger the distance between the partners involved, the weaker these mutual interactions are. In order for the ...
