We report the isolation of thin flakes of cylindrite, a naturally occurring van der Waals superlattice, by means of mechanical and liquid phase exfoliation. We find that this material is a heavily doped p-type semiconductor with a narrow gap (<0.85 eV) with intrinsic magnetic interactions that are preserved even in the exfoliated nanosheets. Due to its environmental stability and high electrical conductivity, cylindrite can be an interesting alternative to the existing two-dimensional magnetic materials.

The electronic structure in unconventional superconductors holds a key to understand the momentum-dependent pairing interactions and the resulting superconducting gap function. In superconducting Fe-based chalcogenides, there have been controversial
results regarding the importance of the $k_z$ dependence of the electronic dispersion, the gap structure and the pairing mechanisms of iron-based superconductivity. Here, we present a detailed investigation of the van der Waals interaction in FeSe and its interplay with magnetic disorder and real space structural properties. Using density functional theory we show that they need to be taken into account upon investigation of the 3-dimensional effects, including non-trivial topology, of FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_x$ and FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ systems. In addition, the impact of paramagnetic (PM) disorder is considered within the spin-space average approach. Our calculations show that the PM relaxed structure supports the picture of different competing ordered magnetic states in the nematic regime, yielding magnetic frustration.
Ultra low-loss microwave materials are crucial for enhancing quantum coherence and scalability of superconducting qubits. Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure is an attractive platform for quantum devices due to the single-crystal structure of the con
stituent two-dimensional (2D) layered materials and the lack of dangling bonds at their atomically sharp interfaces. However, new fabrication and characterization techniques are required to determine whether these structures can achieve low loss in the microwave regime. Here we report the fabrication of superconducting microwave resonators using NbSe$_2$ that achieve a quality factor $Q > 10^5$. This value sets an upper bound that corresponds to a resistance of $leq 192 muOmega$ when considering the additional loss introduced by integrating NbSe$_2$ into a standard transmon circuit. This work demonstrates the compatibility of 2D layered materials with high-quality microwave quantum devices.
In inhomogeneous dielectric media the divergence of the electromagnetic stress is related to the gradients of varepsilon and mu, which is a consequence of Maxwells equations. Investigating spherically symmetric media we show that this seemingly unive
rsal relationship is violated for electromagnetic vacuum forces such as the generalized van der Waals and Casimir forces. The stress needs to acquire an additional anomalous pressure. The anomaly is a result of renormalization, the need to subtract infinities in the stress for getting a finite, physical force. The anomalous pressure appears in the stress in media like dark energy appears in the energy-momentum tensor in general relativity. We propose and analyse an experiment to probe the van der Waals anomaly with ultracold atoms. The experiment may not only test an unusual phenomenon of quantum forces, but also an analogue of dark energy, shedding light where nothing is known empirically.
We analyse van der Waals interactions between a pair of dielectrically anisotropic plane-layered media interacting across a dielectrically isotropic solvent medium. We develop a general formalism based on transfer matrices to investigate the van der
Waals torque and force in the limit of weak birefringence and dielectric matching between the ordinary axes of the anisotropic layers and the solvent. We apply this formalism to study the following systems: (i) a pair of single anisotropic layers, (ii) a single anisotropic layer interacting with a multilayered slab consisting of alternating anisotropic and isotropic layers, and (iii) a pair of multilayered slabs each consisting of alternating anisotropic and isotropic layers, looking at the cases where the optic axes lie parallel and/or perpendicular to the plane of the layers. For the first case, the optic axes of the oppositely facing anisotropic layers of the two interacting slabs generally possess an angular mismatch, and within each multilayered slab the optic axes may either be the same, or undergo constant angular increments across the anisotropic layers. In particular, we examine how the behaviors of the van der Waals torque and force can be tuned by adjusting the layer thicknesses, the relative angular increment within each slab, and the angular mismatch between the slabs.
To fully exploit van der Waals materials and heterostructures, new mass-scalable production routes that are low cost but preserve the high electronic and optical quality of the single crystals are required. Here, we demonstrate an approach to realize
a variety of functional heterostructures based on van der Waals nanocrystal films produced through the mechanical abrasion of bulk powders. Significant performance improvements are realized in our devices compared to those fabricated through ink-jet printing of nanocrystal dispersions. To highlight the simplicity and scalability of the technology a multitude of different functional heterostructure devices such as resistors, capacitors, photovoltaics as well as energy devices such as large-area catalyst coatings for hydrogen evolution reaction and multilayer heterostructures for triboelectric nanogenerators are shown. The simplicity of the device fabrication, scalability, and compatibility with flexible substrates makes this a promising technological route for up-scalable van der Waals heterostructures.
