The unique discovery of magnetic exciton in van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS3 arises between two quantum many-body states of a Zhang-Rice singlet excited state and a Zhang-Rice triplet ground state. Simultaneously, the spectral width of photoluminescence originating from this exciton is exceedingly narrow as 0.4...

[Dr. Tae-Yun Lee & Prof. Heonsu Jeon] Resonant cavity phosphor (Published in Nature Communications) Oct 25, 2023 l Hit 1564

While phosphors play an immensely important role in solid-state lighting and full-colour displays, it has been noted lately that their performance can be largely improved via structural engineering. Here, phosphor material is synergistically merged with yet another structurally engineered platform, reson...

We report an extended search for the axion dark matter using the CAPP18T haloscope. The CAPP18T experiment adopts innovative technologies of a high-temperature superconducting magnet and a Josephson parametric converter. The total system noise temperature is ∼0.6 K. The scan frequency range is from 4.8077 to 4...

The Kitaev model, a honeycomb network of spins with bond-dependent anisotropic interactions, is a rare example of a system with a quantum spin liquid ground state. Although most Kitaev model candidate materials eventually order magnetically due to additional non-Kitaev interactions, their bond-dependent anisotropy mani...

Copper-based superconductors commonly have a CuO2 plane structure, where high-temperature superconductivity occurs. Due to these characteristics, extensive research has been conducted on whether high-temperature superconductivity can occur even in a single layer of the CuO2 plane. However, a pure CuO2 plane single laye...

Metal-halide perovskites possess synthetic tunability in terms of their compositions and structures, which results in a facile control of the properties crucial for optoelectronic device applications. For instance, the optical bandgap of perovskites can be adjusted by means of halide compositions, which can generate a ...

Finding d-electron heavy fermion states has been an important topic as the diversity in d-electron materials can lead to many exotic Kondo effect-related phenomena or new states of matter such as correlation-driven topological Kondo insulator. Yet, obtaining direct spectroscopic evidence for a d-electron heav...

CsV3Sb5 exhibits superconductivity at Tc=3.2 K after undergoing intriguing two high-temperature transitions: charge density wave order at ~98 K and electronic nematic order at Tnem~35 K. Here, we investigate nematic susceptibility in single crystals of Cs(V1-xTix)3Sb5 (x=0.00-0.06) where double-dome...

Divergent density of states (DOS) can induce extraordinary phenomena such as significant enhancement of superconductivity and unexpected phase transitions. Moreover, van Hove singularities (VHSs) lead to divergent DOS in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Despite recent interest in VHSs, only a few controllable cases have b...

Transcriptional pause is essential for all types of termination. In this single-molecule study on bacterial Rho factor-dependent terminators, we confirm that the three Rho-dependent termination routes operate compatibly together in a single terminator, and discover that their termination efficiencies depend on the term...
