In nanotechnology, SOC plays a crucial role in the development of spintronics, a technology that utilizes both the electron's charge and spin. This interaction influences the electronic structure of ...

Mott insulators, characterised by strong electron–electron correlations, present a fertile platform for exploring emergent quantum phenomena when intertwined with robust spin–orbit coupling. In these ...

The Jahn-Teller effect, a phenomenon whereby molecular and solid-state systems undergo geometrical distortion to lower their symmetry and energy, remains a cornerstone in understanding degenerate ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The platform created by the researchers enables the formation and dynamic tuning of ...

When most people hear "polymer," they think of plastics. In our group, polymerization is a way to line up identical molecules like beads on a string and let quantum mechanics take over. Put magnetic ...

Duan and co-workers developed a phosphorus-carbon-bridged cyclization strategy for MR-TADF emitters, addressing the challenge ...

In condensed matter systems, an essential characteristic of electrons besides charge and spin is the orbital degree of freedom (ODoF). It plays a crucial role in understanding unconventional ...
