Article Abstract
Spin-orbit Mott insulators composed of t_{2g}^{4} transition metal ions may host excitonic magnetism due to the condensation of spin-orbital J=1 triplons. Prior experiments suggest that the 4d antiferromagnet Ca_{2}RuO_{4} embodies this notion, but a J=0 nonmagnetic state as a basis of the excitonic picture remains to be confirmed. We use Ru L_{3}-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to reveal archetypal J multiplets with a J=0 ground state in the cubic compound K_{2}RuCl_{6}, which are well described within the LS-coupling scheme. This result highlights the critical role of unquenched orbital moments in 4d-electron compounds and calls for investigations of quantum criticality and excitonic magnetism on various crystal lattices.

Due to its sizable direct bandgap and strong light-matter interactions, the preparation of monolayer MoS has attracted significant attention and intensive research efforts. However, multilayer MoS is largely overlooked because of its optically inactive indirect bandgap caused by interlayer coupling. It is highly desirable to modulate and decrease the interlayer coupling so that each layer in multilayer MoS can exhibit a monolayer-like direct-gap behavior.

This paper presents the results of our study on the relationship between the surface chemical states, which are influenced by ligands, and photoluminescence (PL) characteristics in cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs). NCs were synthesized the Ligand-Assisted Reprecipitation (LARP) and Ultrasonic-Assisted (URSOA) methods, which were able to produce NCs with and without ligands. Although both synthesis methods used similar precursor composition and processing steps, the resulting crystal structures of NCs are different.

In close proximity to quantum emitters (QEs), plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) facilitate energy exchange with the QEs, which is known as plasmon-exciton coupling. The strong coupling regime, associated with Rabi splitting, is crucial for advanced nanophotonic devices, including solar cells, single-photon nonlinear optics, and nanolasers. Recently, high refractive index semiconductor NPs (typically Si NPs) have emerged for designing strongly coupled systems.

Transition metal dichalcogenides are promising quantum materials because of unique exciton-photon interactions. These interactions can be enhanced by coupling with resonant photonic structures, especially in the nonlinear light emission processes like second-harmonic generation (SHG). However, excitonic absorption may dampen SHG.

Triggered by advances in atomic-layer exfoliation and growth techniques, along with the identification of a wide range of extraordinary physical properties in self-standing films consisting of one or a few atomic layers, two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and other van der Waals (vdW) crystals now constitute a broad research field expanding in multiple directions through the combination of layer stacking and twisting, nanofabrication, surface-science methods, and integration into nanostructured environments. Photonics encompasses a multidisciplinary subset of those directions, where 2D materials contribute remarkable nonlinearities, long-lived and ultraconfined polaritons, strong excitons, topological and chiral effects, susceptibility to external stimuli, accessibility, robustness, and a completely new range of photonic materials based on layer stacking, gating, and the formation of moiré patterns. These properties are being leveraged to develop applications in electro-optical modulation, light emission and detection, imaging and metasurfaces, integrated optics, sensing, and quantum physics across a broad spectral range extending from the far-infrared to the ultraviolet, as well as enabling hybridization with spin and momentum textures of electronic band structures and magnetic degrees of freedom.
