| Photoelectron Spectroscopy and First-Principles Studies of 2D Topological Semimetals and Interfacial Topological Superconducting States |
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a central focus in condensed matter physics since the discovery of graphene, owing to their atomic-scale confinement, mechanical flexibility, and tunable electronic structures. The interplay between reduced… Show more Speaker: Dr. Johnson Lu, Oak Ridge National Laboratory |

| Engineering Topological Properties via Spin-Orbit Coupling |
In this talk, I will present our two recent studies on realizing topological properties via Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in exotic quantum materials. First, I will introduce twisted type-II Rashba homobilayers as a new platform for achieving… Show more Speaker: Prof. Li Yang, Washington University in St Louis |
