Single and multijunction nanowires with diameters of 10-40 nm were synthesized by an electrically assisted sonochemical method in aqueous solution at room temperature. By properly controlling the reaction conditions and reactants, this method opens a new strategy towards the fabrication of one-dimensional superlattices in nanowires under ambient conditions. Such a chemical approach provides a promising and simple way to synthesize high-performance building blocks for device applications.

Topological Insulators (TIs) are promising platforms for Quantum Technology due to their topologically protected surface states (TSS). Plasmonic excitations in TIs are especially interesting both as a method of characterisation for TI heterostructures, and as potential routes to couple optical and spin signals in low-loss devices. Since the electrical properties of the TI surface are critical, tuning TI surfaces is a vital step in developing TI structures that can be applied in real world plasmonic devices.

Magnetizing the surface states of topological insulators without damaging their topological features is a crucial step for realizing the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect and remains a challenging task. The TI-ferromagnetic material interface system was constructed and studied by the density functional theory (DFT). A two-dimensional magnetic semiconductor CrWI has been proven to effectively magnetize topological surface states (TSSs) via the magnetic proximity effect.

Article Synopsis
- * Scanning tunneling microscopy studies found a significant quantum state near the Fermi energy that remains consistent across the moiré lattice, but shifts slightly in different areas due to elastic strain.
- * Density functional theory calculations reveal that this enhanced quantum state is due to charge redistribution between the substrate and the epilayer, influenced by Se atom orbitals in the distorted VSe.*

Heterostructure engineering is crucial for enhancing gas sensing performance. However, achieving rapid response for room-temperature NO sensing through rational heterostructure design remains a challenge. In this study, a BiSe/SnSe 2D/2D heterostructure was synthesized by hydrothermal method for the rapid detection of NO at room temperature.

Highly crystalline and easily feasible topological insulator-superconductor (TI-SC) heterostructures are crucial for the development of practical topological qubit devices. The optimal superconducting layer for TI-SC heterostructures should be highly resilient against external contamination and structurally compatible with TIs. In this study, we provide a solution to this challenge by showcasing the growth of a highly crystalline TI-SC heterostructure using refractory TiN (111) as the superconducting layer.
