Nan publishes his work on interface excitons in mixed-dimensional heterostructures in Nature Communications
interface excitons in mixed-dimensional heterostructures Nan’s paper on interface excitons in mixed-dimensional heterostructures is published in Nature Communications. Congratulations! This research presents the development and room-temperature observation of interface excitons in mixed-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures, composed of 2D WSe2 and one-dimensional carbon nanotubes. The study reveals new emission peaks within telecommunication wavelengths, attributed to interface excitons, and suggests potential applications in quantum photonics through engineered band alignment.

Shun publishes his work on van der Waals decoration of ultra-high-Q silica microcavities in Nano Letters
van der Waals Decoration of Ultra-High-Q Silica Microcavities Shun’s paper on van der Waals decoration of ultra-high-Q silica microcavities is published in Nano Letters. Congratulations! This research introduces a hybrid photonic platform that allows flexible tuning of the balance between second- and third-order susceptibilities, key to optical nonlinear processes used in applications like ultrafast lasers and quantum technologies. By strategically placing atomically thin tungsten diselenide on ultra-high-Q silica microcavities, the team achieved coexistence of second- and third-order nonlinearities in a single device, paving the way for novel applications of hybrid systems with controlled nonlinear susceptibilities.
