Abstract: Bi2Se3 is predicted to be a 3D topological insulator (TI) with a large band gap and a single Dirac cone. Although surface sensitive spectroscopy has revealed the nature....

Due to the reduced spatial dimensions, many intriguing quantum phenomenon arise in two-dimensional (2D) systems, such as graphene, 2D electron gas (2DEG) in semiconductor heteros...

Recently, level crossings in the energy bands of crystals have been identified as a key signature for topological phase transitions. I will discuss the criteria that need to be met...

Seceond Harmonic Genration (SHG) and two photon luminescence are used to study the surface of metallic nanoparticles. We observed the first direct experimental evidence for the sur...

Semiconductor nanostructures such as quantum dots (QDs) have offered unique opportunities to investigate sophisticated quantum optical effects in a solid-state system. These includ...

There have been great interests in recent years on exploring the use of hybrid organic-inorganic nanostructures in various sustainable energy applications including photovoltaics a...
