Join us as a Postdoc, tailoring the stacking of few-layer graphene at the atomic scale for novel quantum phases and exploring new correlated states.
Read MoreAlso known as ABC graphite, this quantum material hosts a flat band at its surfaces, leading to the emergence of new correlated phases of matter, including the recently discovered fractional Chern insulator. A major bottleneck in the exploration of this material is the identification of samples with prefect rhombohedral or ABC stacking. Our group has […]
Read MoreOur group has developed RHKPY, a python tool designed to read sm4 files of RHK, leveraging the work of the rescipy project. It makes use of xarray and HoloViews to simplify complex data handling tasks. Among its features, RHKPY offers quick visualization, thumbnail generation, peak fitting to spectroscopy data, background removal, etc. In the Jupyter […]
Read MoreOur group has published ramantools, a Python package designed to streamline Raman spectroscopy data analysis. By leveraging the power of xarray, ramantools offers an intuitive and efficient workflow for handling, processing, and visualizing Raman data. Source is available from GitHub. Documentation and examples can be found here: github.io/ramantools. Happy measuring 🙂 If you use this […]

Our group has identified, using low temperature STM and infrared spectroscopy measurements, the structure and composition of the hydrocarbon contamination found on many van der Waals material surfaces (hBN, MoS2, etc.). When exposing fresh surfaces to ambient conditions, the initial contamination layer is replaced within days by a monolayer of straight chain alkanes. These alkanes […]

Our STM measurements reveal a degenerate many-body ground state in the flat band of rhombohedral graphite. The system at charge neutrality is possibly the simplest crystal hosting quantum magnetism, forming a new experimental platform to study strongly correlated electrons.

Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) measurements, we have observed the closing of the topological gap in the van der Waals material ZrTe5, by applying mechanical deformations to it in the form of bubbles.
Read MoreThe result of our collaboration with the group of Prof. Yanpeng Qi at ShanghaiTech University has just been published in npj Quantum Materials. Our work reveals that Pt2HgSe3 (jacutingaite) transforms to a monoclinic structure (space group Pc), above 55 GPa and at the same time becomes a superconductor.

In our recent paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, we show that the plasmon frequencies of graphene can be tuned from terahertz frequencies into the visible range. This enables extremely sensitive detection of molecules from femtomolar concentrations by Raman spectroscopy.
