Embedding a WS$_2$ monolayer in flakes of hexagonal boron nitride allowed us to resolve and study the photoluminescence response due to both singlet and triplet states of negatively charged excitons (trions) in this atomically thin semiconductor. The energy separation between the singlet and triplet states has been found to be relatively small reflecting rather weak effects of the electron-electron exchange interaction for the trion triplet in a WS$_2$ monolayer, which involves two electrons with the same spin but from different valleys. Polarization-resolved experiments demonstrate that the helicity of the excitation light is better preserved in the emission spectrum of the triplet trion than in that of the singlet trion. Finally, the singlet (intravalley) trions are found to be observable even at ambient conditions whereas the emission due to the triplet (intervalley) trions is only efficient at low temperatures.

We study fully hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)-encapsulated graphene spin valve devices at room temperature. The device consists of a graphene channel encapsulated between two crystalline hBN flakes; thick-hBN flake as a bottom gate dielectric substrat e which masks the charge impurities from SiO2/Si substrate and single-layer thin-hBN flake as a tunnel barrier. Full encapsulation prevents the graphene from coming in contact with any polymer/chemical during the lithography and thus gives homogeneous charge and spin transport properties across different regions of the encapsulated graphene. Further, even with the multiple electrodes in between the injection and the detection electrodes which are in conductivity mismatch regime, we observe spin transport over 12.5 um long distance under the thin-hBN encapsulated graphene channel, demonstrating the clean interface and the pin-hole free nature of the thin-hBN as an efficient tunnel barrier.
We present the first study of the intrinsic electrical properties of WS$_2$ transistors fabricated with two different dielectric environments WS$_2$ on SiO$_2$ and WS$_2$ on h-BN/SiO$_2$, respectively. A comparative analysis of the electrical charact eristics of multiple transistors fabricated from natural and synthetic WS$_2$ with various thicknesses from single- up to four-layers and over a wide temperature range from 300K down to 4.2 K shows that disorder intrinsic to WS$_2$ is currently the limiting factor of the electrical properties of this material. These results shed light on the role played by extrinsic factors such as charge traps in the oxide dielectric thought to be the cause for the commonly observed small values of charge carrier mobility in transition metal dichalcogenides.

Interference of double moire patterns of graphene (G) encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (BN) can alter the electronic structure features near the primary/secondary Dirac points and the electron-hole symmetry introduced by a single G/BN moire pa ttern depending on the relative stacking arrangements of the top/bottom BN layers. We show that strong interference effects are found in nearly aligned BN/G/BN and BN/G/NB and obtain the evolution of the associated density of states as a function of moire superlattice twist angles. For equal moire periods and commensurate patterns with $Delta phi = 0^{circ}$ modulo $60^{circ}$ angle differences the patterns can add up constructively leading to large pseudogaps of about $sim 0.5$ eV on the hole side or cancel out destructively depending on their relative sliding, e.g. partially recovering electron-hole symmetry. The electronic structure of moire quasicrystals for $Delta phi =30^{circ}$ differences reveal double moire features in the density of states with almost isolated van Hove singularities where we can expect strong correlations.

We present a thermal annealing study on single-layer and bilayer (BLG) graphene encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. The samples are characterized by electron transport and Raman spectroscopy measurements before and after each annealing step. Whi le extracted material properties such as charge carrier mobility, overall doping, and strain are not influenced by the annealing, an initial annealing step lowers doping and strain variations and thus results in a more homogeneous sample. Additionally, the narrow 2D-sub-peak widths of the Raman spectrum of BLG, allow us to extract information about strain and doping values from the correlation of the 2D-peak and the G-peak positions.
Unlike the electrical conductance that can be widely modulated within the same material even in deep nanoscale devices, tuning the thermal conductance within a single material system or nanostructure is extremely challenging and requires a large-scal e device. This prohibits the realization of robust ON/OFF states in switching the flow of thermal currents. Here, we present the theory of a thermal switch based on resonant coupling of three photonic resonators, in analogy to the field-effect electronic transistor composed of a source, gate, and drain. As a material platform, we capitalize on the extreme tunability and low-loss resonances observed in the dielectric function of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) under controlled strain. We derive the dielectric function of hBN from first principles, including the phonon-polariton linewidths computed by considering phonon isotope and anharmonic phonon-phonon scattering. Subsequently, we propose a strain-controlled hBN-based thermal switch that modulates thermal conductance by more than an order of magnitude, corresponding to an ON/OFF contrast ratio of 98%, in a deep subwavelength nanostructure.
