• Abstract: We theoretically investigated the Floquet states of bilayer graphene heterostructure under the irradiation by horizontally incident circular polarized light. The in-plane and out-of-plane electric field of the light periodically perturbs the intra-layer and inter-layer hopping, respectively. For circular polarized light, the two components of the electric field has $\pi/2$ phase difference, so that the two types of hopping are periodically perturbed with the $\pi/2$ phase difference, which modify the effective inter-layer hopping. We focus on the model of bilayer graphene in the heterostructure of antiferromagnetic van der Walls spin valve. The amplitude of the irradiation can tune the band gap and topological properties of the bulk state. The spin-polarized quantum anomalous Hall phase with Chern number being one is predicted. The incident angle of the irradiation can tune the band gap and dispersion of the edge states in zigzag nanoribbons.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

  Monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides possess broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling. Spin-valley locking yields an electronic superlattice structure, where alternating layers correspond to barrier and quantum well respectively. We show that the spin-valley locked superlattice hosts a new kind of dipolar excitons with the electron and hole constituents separated in an every-other-layer configuration.

  We show that an extreme modulation of one-dimensional (1D) SL potentials in monolayer graphene deforms the underlying Dirac band dispersion. This results in emergent intersubband polaritonic responses in optical conductivity. Our study opens up an avenue for exploring emergent polaritons in two-dimensional materials with gate-tunable electronic band structures.

  Graphene features topological edge bands that connect the pair of Dirac points through either sectors of the 1D Brillouin zone depending on edge configurations (zigzag or bearded) Because of their flat dispersion, spontaneous edge magnetisation can arise from Coulomb interaction in graphene nanoribbons. We find an anomalous Bloch oscillation in such edge bands, in which the flat dispersion freezes electron motion along the field direction.

  Quantum emitters in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) were recently reported to hol a homogeneous linewidth according to the Fourier-Transform limit up to room temperature. This unusual observation was traced back to decoupling from in-plane phonon modes which can arise if the emitter is located between two planes of the hBN host material.
