The interaction between magnetic impurities and the gapless surface state is of Critical importance for realizing novel quantum phenomena and new functionalities. in topological insulators. By combining angle-resolved photoemission-spectroscopic experiments with density functional theory calculations; we show that surface deposition of Cr atoms on Bi2Se3 does not lead to gap opening of the surface state at the Dirac point, indicating the absence :Of long-range out-of-plane ferromagnetism down to our measurement temperature of 15 K. This is in sharp contrast to bulk Cr doping; and the origin is attributed to different Cr occupation sites. These results highlight the importance of nanoscale configuration of doped magnetic impurities in determining the electronic and magnetic properties of topological insulators.

Recent Progress in Strain Engineering on Van der Waals 2D Materials: Tunable Electrical, Electrochemical, Magnetic, and Optical Properties

Yaping Qi, Mohammad A. Sadi, Dan Hu, Ming Zheng, Zhenping Wu, Yucheng Jiang, Yong P. Chen

Summary: Strain engineering is a promising method to manipulate the properties of 2D materials, such as electrical, electrochemical, magnetic, and optical properties, with the goal of achieving high-performance 2D-material-based devices. This review summarizes recent experimental and theoretical advancements in the field of strain engineering for 2D materials. It highlights novel methods to induce strain and discusses the tunable electrical and optical/optoelectronic properties of 2D materials achieved through strain engineering, including the less-explored strain tuning of superconducting, magnetic, and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, the review presents future perspectives on the potential applications of strain engineering in functional devices.

Summary: The slow electrochemical reduction and chemical disproportionation of lithium disulfide (Li2S2) during the discharging process limit the reversible capacity of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, as they lead to further polysulfide dissolution and lithium sulfide generation without capacity contribution.

Pseudospin-selective Floquet band engineering in black phosphorus

Shaohua Zhou, Changhua Bao, Benshu Fan, Hui Zhou, Qixuan Gao, Haoyuan Zhong, Tianyun Lin, Hang Liu, Pu Yu, Peizhe Tang, Sheng Meng, Wenhui Duan, Shuyun Zhou

Summary: Time-periodic light field has been used to manipulate quantum states in solid-state materials, cold atoms, and photonic systems. This is achieved through interaction with photon-dressed Floquet states in the strong-coupling limit, known as Floquet engineering. In this study, experimental evidence of momentum-resolved Floquet band engineering in a model semiconductor, black phosphorus, is reported using time and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements. Strong band renormalization and light-induced dynamical gap opening are observed near the band edges under near-resonance pumping, along with the emergence of Floquet sidebands. The band renormalization shows a selection rule favoring pump polarization along the armchair direction, indicating pseudospin selectivity for Floquet band engineering enforced by lattice symmetry. This work demonstrates pseudospin-selective Floquet band engineering in black phosphorus and provides important guiding principles for Floquet engineering of semiconductors.

Ke Zhang, Guo Chen, Shaohua Zhou, Zi Yuan, Xu Gu, Duanliang Zhou, Yuan Wang, Xinyu Gao, Yucheng Ma, Runzhe Xu, Zaiqiao Bai, Peng Liu, Lexian Yang, Shuyun Zhou, Shoushan Fan, Kaili Jiang

Summary: In this article, the concepts of optical blackbody and electron blackbody are introduced, which have significant implications for the study of quantum mechanics. Vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays are used as an example of electron blackbodies, which can achieve ideal electron absorption and emission at different temperatures. This concept can also be extended to blackbodies for extreme ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray photons, as well as neutrons, protons, and other elementary particles.

Continuous manipulation of magnetic anisotropy in a van der Waals ferromagnet via electrical gating

Ming Tang, Junwei Huang, Feng Qin, Kun Zhai, Toshiya Ideue, Zeya Li, Fanhao Meng, Anmin Nie, Linglu Wu, Xiangyu Bi, Caorong Zhang, Ling Zhou, Peng Chen, Caiyu Qiu, Peizhe Tang, Haijun Zhang, Xiangang Wan, Lin Wang, Zhongyuan Liu, Yongjun Tian, Yoshihiro Iwasa, Hongtao Yuan

Summary: Controlling the magnetic anisotropy of ferromagnetic materials is crucial for the development of magnetic switching devices and spintronic applications. This study demonstrates the gate-tunable modulation of magnetic anisotropy in the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe5GeTe2, allowing for continuous rotation of the magnetic easy axis from an out-of-plane to an in-plane orientation. The results show that the modulation of anisotropy can be achieved via a spin-flop pathway and the range of modulation is significant, from 2.11 to -0.38 MJ m(-3). Additionally, temperature can also be used to tune the anisotropy.

Irremovable Mn-Bi Site Mixing in MnBi2Te4

Xi Wu, Chao Ruan, Peizhe Tang, Feiyu Kang, Wenhui Duan, Jia Li

Summary: The theoretically predicted gapped surface state of antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 has been experimentally observed to have a smaller or even gapless surface state, which is caused by the defects in MnBi2Te4. The study identifies antisite Mn-Bi and Bi(Mn) as dominant defects and reveals their evolution during the phase transition from MnTe/Bi2Te3 to MnBi2Te4. It is found that complete elimination of Mn(Bi) and Bi-Mn defects in MnBi2Te4 through simple annealing is almost impossible due to high migration barrier in kinetics. Moreover, increasing concentration of Mn-Bi and Bi-Mn defects in MnBi2Te4 monolayer leads to the elimination of gap in the Dirac point-related bands, explaining the experimentally unobserved large-gap surface state. The results provide insight into the theoretical understanding of the synthesized MnBi2Te4's quality and experimentally measured topological properties.

Summary: We report the superconducting and electronic structure properties of a natural van der Waals superlattice (PbSe)(1.14)NbSe2. Anisotropic superconductivity with a higher transition temperature than monolayer NbSe2 is revealed by transport measurements. ARPES measurements reveal the two-dimensional electronic structure and charge transfer characteristics. Our study suggests that natural van der Waals superlattices can achieve intriguing properties distinct from bulk and monolayer samples.

Floquet engineering of magnetism in topological insulator thin films

Xiaoyu Liu, Benshu Fan, Hannes Huebener, Umberto De Giovannini, Wenhui Duan, Angel Rubio, Peizhe Tang

Summary: In this study, the manipulation of magnetism in topological materials is demonstrated using circularly polarized light through a Floquet engineering approach. With the increase of the laser field, besides the expected topological phase transition, a magnetic phase transition from ferromagnetism to paramagnetism is observed in the magnetically doped topological insulator thin film, whose critical behavior strongly depends on the quantum quenching. Unlike the equilibrium case, the non-equilibrium Curie temperatures vary for different time scales and experimental setups, not all relying on the change of topology. Our findings deepen the understanding of the relationship between topology and magnetism in the non-equilibrium regime and extend the optoelectronic device applications to topological materials.

Summary: This study reports the selective growth of monolayer TaTe2 films with different phases and superstructures by controlling the growth temperature and post-growth annealing treatment. The different electronic structures of 1H-TaTe2 and 1T-TaTe2 films are revealed through experimental measurements and theoretical calculations. The transition from a root 19x root 19 superstructure to a new 2 x 2 superstructure is observed in the annealed 1H-TaTe2 film.

Robustness of Trion State in Gated Monolayer MoSe2 under Pressure

Zeya Li, Feng Qin, Chin Shen Ong, Junwei Huang, Zian Xu, Peng Chen, Caiyu Qiu, Xi Zhang, Caorong Zhang, Xiuxiu Zhang, Olle Eriksson, Angel Rubio, Peizhe Tang, Hongtao Yuan

Summary: In this study, a gate-tunable exciton-to-trion transition in pressurized monolayer MoSe2 is reported. With increasing pressure, both the exciton and trion emission energies undergo large blueshifts. However, the trion binding energy remains constant, which is attributed to the spatially diffused nature of the trion wave function and the weak correlation between its constituent electron-hole pairs.
