Article Abstract
The influence of nuclear polarization on the bound-electron g factor in heavy hydrogenlike ions is investigated. Numerical calculations are performed for the K- and L-shell electrons taking into account the dominant virtual nuclear excitations. This determines the ultimate limit for tests of QED utilizing measurements of the bound-electron g factor in highly charged ions.

Article Synopsis
- The properties of excitons, crucial to their behavior in materials, depend on factors like spin, valley, and energy, and can be modified through the stacking of layers in van der Waals materials.
- In bi- and tri-layer 2H-MoSe crystals, interlayer excitons can be electrically manipulated, resulting in unique coupling with intralayer excitons and enabling enhanced optical properties.
- The study demonstrates significant tunability of exciton characteristics, like dipole strength and energy levels, while allowing for manipulation of spin and valley attributes, making multilayer 2H-MoSe an exciting platform for advanced research in light-matter interactions.
Unlocking Efficient Ultrafast Bound-Electron Optical Nonlinearities via Mirror Induced Quasi Bound States in the Continuum.

The operation of photonic devices often relies on modulation of their refractive index. While the sub-bandgap index change through bound-electron optical nonlinearity offers a faster response than utilizing free carriers with an overbandgap pump, optical switching often suffers from inefficiency. Here, we use a recently observed metasurface based on mirror-induced optical bound states in the continuum, to enable superior modulation characteristics.

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, in two-dimensional hybrid organic inorganic perovskites (2D HOIPs) are capable of forming hybrid light-matter states known as exciton-polaritons (E-Ps) when the excitonic medium is confined in an optical cavity. In the case of 2D HOIPs, they can self-hybridize into E-Ps at specific thicknesses of the HOIP crystals that form a resonant optical cavity with the excitons. However, the fundamental properties of these self-hybridized E-Ps in 2D HOIPs, including their role in ultrafast energy and/or charge transfer at interfaces, remain unclear.

Especially in few-electron, highly charged ions, the interaction with the electromagnetic fields can be accurately calculated within quantum electrodynamics (QED), rendering these ions good candidates to test the validity of QED in strong fields. Consequently, their Lamb shifts were intensively studied in the past several decades.
