Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, combined with first principle and coupled self-consistent Poisson-Schrödinger calculations, we demonstrate that potassium (K) atoms adsorbed on the low-temperature phase of 1T-TiSe_{2} induce the creation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and quantum confinement of its charge-density wave (CDW) at the surface. By further changing the K coverage, we tune the carrier density within the 2DEG that allows us to nullify, at the surface, the electronic energy gain due to exciton condensation in the CDW phase while preserving a long-range structural order. Our Letter constitutes a prime example of a controlled exciton-related many-body quantum state in reduced dimensionality by alkali-metal dosing.

In-Plane Anomalous Hall Effect Associated with Orbital Magnetization: Measurements of Low-Carrier Density Films of a Magnetic Weyl Semimetal.

For over a century, the Hall effect, a transverse effect under an out-of-plane magnetic field or magnetization, has been a cornerstone for magnetotransport studies and applications. Modern theoretical formulation based on the Berry curvature has revealed the potential that even an in-plane magnetic field can induce an anomalous Hall effect, but its experimental demonstration has remained difficult due to its potentially small magnitude and strict symmetry requirements. Here, we report observation of the in-plane anomalous Hall effect by measuring low-carrier density films of magnetic Weyl semimetal EuCd_{2}Sb_{2}.

Size uniformity in colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) critically influences their electronic properties. However, achieving precise size control remains challenging for mercury chalcogenide systems. We demonstrate that a postsynthetic reheating treatment with the addition of dodecanethiol (DDT) ligands, consistent with a digestive ripening mechanism, effectively narrows the size distribution of HgTe CQDs from 12% to 6%, accompanied by enhanced crystallinity and sharper absorption features.

Article Synopsis
- - Intercalation reactions depend on how the electronic and structural properties of host (like TaS) and guest materials (like divalent ions) interact, making it harder for divalent ions like Mg to intercalate compared to monovalent ions.
- - This study explores the cointercalation of Mg and hydrogen (H) into TaS to produce bulk polycrystalline MgHTaS, where hydrogen can be removed by heating at around 400 °C without changing the crystal structure.
- - The research also investigates how the superconducting properties relate to electronic carrier density using both theoretical calculations and experiments, highlighting the benefits of using hydrides for intercalation reactions.
Electrically and magnetically readable memory with a graphene/1T-CrTe heterostructure: anomalous Hall transistor.

Using first-principles theoretical analysis, we demonstrate the spin-polarized anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) response of a 2D vdW heterostructure of graphene and ferromagnetic CrTe that can be controlled with a perpendicular electric field . The origins of AHC and linear magnetoelectric responses are traced to (a) the transfer of electronic charge from graphene to ferromagnetic CrTe causing an out-of-plane electric polarization = 1.69 μC cm and (b) the crystal field and spin-split Dirac points of graphene.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials serve as exceptional platforms for controlled second-harmonic generation (SHG). Current approaches to SHG control often depend on nonresonant conditions or symmetry breaking via single-gate control. Here, we employ dual-gate bilayer WSe to demonstrate an SHG enhancement concept that leverages strong exciton resonance and a layer-dependent exciton-polaron effect.
