Twisted van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures exhibit periodic variations, leading to a new type of in-plane superlattice known as moiré superlattice/pattern which modifies considerably the optical properties of excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) vdW heterostructures. The period of these moiré superlattices is determined by the lattice constant mismatch and the twist...

Singlet fission in organic semiconductors is a promising concept that can be used to increase the efficiency of solar photovoltaic cells. Upon light absorption a singlet exciton (S = 0) is created, which splits into two triplet excitons (S = 1), via an intermediate triplet-pair state (S = 1 ⊗ S = 1). This carrier-multiplication process potentially reduces the thermalization losses...

Most of 2D superconductors are of type II, i.e., they are penetrated by quantized vortices when exposed to out-of-plane magnetic fields. In a presence of a supercurrent, a Lorentz-like force acts on the vortices, leading to drift and dissipation. The current-induced vortex motion is impeded by pinning at defects. Usually, the pinning strength decreases upon any type of...

Abstract
The so-called “search for Majoranas” has mobilized several groups over the last decade with the goal of achieving the “holy grail” of topological quantum computation in condensed matter systems [1-2]. In spite of the advances, particularly in devices of semiconductor nanowires with proximity induced superconductivity, many unanswered questions and challenges remain, as highlighted...

Abstract
Topological insulators (TIs) are materials that are insulating in their bulk but present metallic states on their surface. This is the simplest definition for a complex quantum effect that results from strong spin-orbit coupling that changes the topological order of the material. The metallic states host spin-polarized currents composed of Dirac fermions flowing on the topological...

Abstract
The discovery of two dimensional (2D) graphene has opened the doors to investigate a myriad of new 2D materials that have better characteristics. Out of these are the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In this talk, I will shine light on the electronic, optical and thermal properties of the 1T [1] Pd-based dichalcogenides, namely PdS2, PdSe2, PdSSe, PdSTe, and PdSeTe systems,...

While it is well known that the III-Nitrides are the materials for the highly efficient light-emitting diodes, among other optoelectronic devices, the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) also offer a great potential use in the field of 2D materials with interesting electronic and optoelectronic properties. In the case of III-Nitrides, the interest on these materials was renewed, now as a...

Abstract
We carried out first-principles density functional theory calculations of hydrogen and oxygen adsorption and diffusion on subnanometer MoS nanowires. The nanowires are robust against adsorption of hydrogen. On the other hand, interaction with oxygen shows that the nanowires can oxidize with a small barrier. Our results open the path for understanding the behavior of MoS nanowires...
