We report the observation of ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S) decay based on an analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collisions at the ϒ(2S) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We measure a branching fraction of B[ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S)]=(6.1_{-0.7-0.6}^{+0.6+0.9})×10^{-4} and derive an η_{b}(1S) mass of 9394.8_{-3.1-2.7}^{+2.7+4.5} MeV/c^{2}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The significance of our measurement is greater than 7 standard deviations, constituting the first observation of this decay mode.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is an important characterization tool in the pursuit of controllable fluorination of two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (-BN). However, there is a lack of clear spectral interpretation, and seemingly conflicting measurements exist. To discern the structure-spectroscopy relation, we performed a comprehensive first-principles study on the boron 1s edge XPS of fluorinated -BN (F-BN) nanosheets.

Boron-doped graphdiyne (B-GDY) material exhibits an excellent performance in electrocatalysis, ion transport, and energy storage. However, accurately identifying the structures of B-GDY in experiments remains a challenge, hindering further selection of suitable structures with the most ideal performance for various practical applications. In the present work, we employed density functional theory (DFT) to simulate the X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectra of pristine graphdiyne (GDY) and six representative single boron-doped graphdiynes at the B and C K-edges to establish the structure-spectroscopy relationship.

Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission, we present momentum- and energy-resolved measurements of exciton coupling in monolayer WS_{2}. We observe strong intravalley coupling between the B_{1s} exciton and A_{n>1} states. Our measurements indicate that the dominant valley depolarization mechanism conserves the exciton binding energy and momentum.

The optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers such as WS are largely dominated by excitons due to strong Coulomb interactions in these 2D confined monolayers, which lead to formation of Rydberg-like excitonic states below the free quasiparticle band gap. The precise knowledge of high order Rydberg excitonic states is of great importance for both fundamental understanding such as many-electron effects and device applications such as optical switching and quantum process information. Bright excitonic states could be probed by linear optical spectroscopy, while probing dark excitonic states generally requires nonlinear optical (NLO) spectroscopy.

The electronic properties of a diboron molecule, namely bis(catecholato)diboron (2-(1,3,2-benzodioxaborol-2-yl)-1,3,2-benzodioxaborole) (BCat), have been studied by comparing the results of photoemission (XPS) and near edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (NEXAFS) experiments with the outcome of DFT calculations. The B 1s, C 1s and O 1s K-edges have been investigated for both the isolated gas phase molecule and the adsorbed one on the Au(111) surface. The main features of the polarized NEXAFS spectra at each of the three edges considered are not significantly affected by the presence of the substrate, with respect to the isolated molecule, indicating that the molecule-gold interaction is weak.
