Two-photon optical Ramsey-Doppler spectroscopy of positronium and muonium.

Abstract: Positronium and muonium, as purely leptonic atoms without internal structure, provide ideal systems for high-precision tests of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and measurements of fundamental constants. However, the high velocities of these lightweight atoms complicate precision spectroscopy, particularly in the 1 S-2 S transition, due to transit time broadening and second-order Doppler shifts. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel method combining two-photon Ramsey spectroscopy with a technique to correct the second-order Doppler shifts on an atom-by-atom basis.

Nature of Long-Lived Moiré Interlayer Excitons in Electrically Tunable MoS/MoSe Heterobilayers.

Interlayer excitons in transition-metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers combine high binding energy and valley-contrasting physics with a long optical lifetime and strong dipolar character. Their permanent electric dipole enables electric-field control of the emission energy, lifetime, and location. Device material and geometry impact the nature of the interlayer excitons via their real- and momentum-space configurations.
