Halide perovskites are widely used as components of electronic and optoelectronic devices such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), optically pumped lasers, field-effect transistors, photodetectors, and γ-detectors. Despite this wide r...
Precision laser spectroscopy of the 229-thorium nuclear isomer transition in a solid-state environment would represent a significant milestone in the field of metrology, opening the door to the realization of a nuclear clock. Working toward this goal...
We present an ab initio study on quasiparticle (QP) excitations and excitonic effects in two-dimensional (2D) GaN based on density-functional theory and many-body perturbation theory. We calculate the QP band structure using GW approximatio...
Atomically thin semiconductors from the transition metal dichalcogenide family are materials in which the optical response is dominated by strongly bound excitonic complexes. Here, we present a theory of excitons in two-dimensional semiconductors usi...
In this review, we provide a survey of the application of advanced first-principle methods on the theoretical modeling and understanding of novel electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of the spin-orbit coupled Ruddlesden–Popper series of irida...
