Long spin lifetimes are crucial for maintaining robust spin states during propagation in spintronic devices. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in chiral hybrid perovskites can induce chirality-dependent spin splitting, facilitating the manipulation of spin polarization. In this study, we introduce a chiral organic molecule, (/)-4-(aminoethyl)piperidinium (4AEP), into iodide-lead-based structures to synthesize chiral [(/)-4AEP]PbI crystals and thin films. Using circularly polarized pump-probe techniques, we examine the carrier spin dynamics in [(/)-4AEP]PbI. Our results demonstrate that chirality-induced spin splitting significantly enhances the spin-polarization lifetime, achieving a spin splitting of approximately 130 meV at the valence band maximum and spin lifetimes exceeding 1 ns. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that opposite spin states exist in the - and -chiral samples with substantial spin splitting. These findings highlight the potential of chiral hybrid perovskites for spintronics applications.

MoTe_{2} monolayers and bilayers are unique within the family of van der Waals materials since they pave the way toward atomically thin infrared light-matter quantum interfaces, potentially reaching the important telecommunication windows. Here, we report emergent exciton polaritons based on MoTe_{2} monolayers and bilayers in a low-temperature open microcavity in a joint experiment-theory study. Our experiments clearly evidence both the enhanced oscillator strength and enhanced luminescence of MoTe_{2} bilayers, signified by a 38% increase of the Rabi splitting and a strongly enhanced relaxation of polaritons to low-energy states.

Two-dimensional heterojunctions provide a versatile platform for exploring various quantum properties. Here, we create bilayer 1T/2H-NbSe heterophase junctions and realize two types of stacking configurations with picometer-level lattice shifts. By high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, we found that the electronic states are highly dependent on the stacking configurations of the 1T layer on the 2H one.

Fundamental weak interactions have been shown to violate parity in both nuclear and atomic systems. However, observation of parity violation in a molecular system has proven an elusive target. Nuclear spin dependent contributions of the weak interaction are expected to result in energetic differences between enantiomers manifesting in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra as chemical shift differences in the order of parts-per-trillion to parts-per-billion (μHz to mHz) for high- nuclei.

To study the effect of thionation of the carbonyl groups in a chromophore, i.e. replacing the O atom with S atom, on the photophysics, we studied two thionated coumarin derivatives (Cou-S and Cou-6-S) with various steady state and transient spectroscopic methods.

Metal-organic compounds that feature magnetic bistability have been proposed as bits for magnetic storage, but progress has been slow. Four-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes feature high inversion barriers of the magnetic moment, but they lack magnetic bistability. Developing radical-bridged polynuclear systems is a promising strategy to encounter this; however detailed investigations of such species are scarce.
