We conducted$^{195}$Pt-nuclear magnetic resonance measurements on various-diameter Pt nanoparticles coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone in order to detect the quantum size effect and the discrete energy levels in the electron density of states, both of which were predicted by Kubo more than 50 years ago. We succeeded in separating the signals arising from the surface and interior regions and found that the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates in both regions show the metallic behavior at high temperatures. Surprisingly, the magnetic fluctuations in both regions exhibited anomalous behavior below the same temperature $T^*$, which points to a clear size dependence and is well scaled with $delta_mathrm{Kubo}$. These results suggest that a size-tunable metal-insulator transition occurs in the Pt nanoparticles as a result of the Kubo effect.

$^{195}$Pt-NMR measurements of Pt nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 4.0 nm were performed in a high magnetic field of approximately $mu_0 H = 23.3$ T to investigate the low-temperature electronic state of the nanoparticles. The characteristic tem
perature $T^*$, below which the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ deviates from the relaxation rate of the bulk, shows a magnetic-field dependence. This dependence supports the theoretical prediction of the appearance of discrete energy levels.
In this paper we analyse the importance of a detailed description of the electronic transitions in ultra-small nanoparticles through the optical response to very small changes of size in systems, whose dimensions are in the subnanometric scale. We pr
esent a carefully calculation of the optical response of these systems by using the exact eigen-energies and wave functions for nanospheres with diameter smaller than 10nm, to obtain the dielectric function under different conditions of confinement. The aim is to use the so obtained dielectric function to present the absorption spectra of one electron confined in a sphere in two cases: 1) infinite confinement and 2) finite confinement, in which, the value of the wells depth is carefully calculated after adjusting the number of atoms that composed each sphere, so that the energies and dipole matrix elements give a more accurate information of the optical response. Moreover, we extend the calculation of this dielectric function for obtaining the optical constants needed to find the plasmon frequency, throught a numerical method of finite elements that solves the Maxwells equations, in order to obtain the enhancement of the near electric field. We show an interesting behavior for particles sizes less than 10 nm, finding that the variation induced in the eigen-energies, through slight size changes in the particle, provides significant variations in the optical response of these nanoparticles. This effect, can be observed in the optical absorption spectra and in the localized surface plasmon energies as confirmed in recent observation of plasmonic phenomena at the subnanometer to atomic scale.
In the fractional quantum Hall effect regime we measure diagonal ($rho_{xx}$) and Hall ($rho_{xy}$) magnetoresistivity tensor components of two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in gated GaAs/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As heterojunctions, together with capac
itance between 2DES and the gate. We observe 1/3- and 2/3-fractional quantum Hall effect at rather low magnetic fields where corresponding fractional minima in the thermodynamical density of states have already disappeared manifesting complete suppression of the quasiparticle energy gaps.
Over a long period of exploration, the successful observation of quantized version of anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in thin film of magnetically-doped topological insulator completed a quantum Hall trio---quantum Hall effect (QHE), quantum spin Hall ef
fect (QSHE), and quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE). On the theoretical front, it was understood that intrinsic AHE is related to Berry curvature and U(1) gauge field in momentum space. This understanding established connection between the QAHE and the topological properties of electronic structures characterized by the Chern number. With the time reversal symmetry broken by magnetization, a QAHE system carries dissipationless charge current at edges, similar to the QHE where an external magnetic field is necessary. The QAHE and corresponding Chern insulators are also closely related to other topological electronic states, such as topological insulators and topological semimetals, which have been extensively studied recently and have been known to exist in various compounds. First-principles electronic structure calculations play important roles not only for the understanding of fundamental physics in this field, but also towards the prediction and realization of realistic compounds. In this article, a theoretical review on the Berry phase mechanism and related topological electronic states in terms of various topological invariants will be given with focus on the QAHE and Chern insulators. We will introduce the Wilson loop method and the band inversion mechanism for the selection and design of topological materials, and discuss the predictive power of first-principles calculations. Finally, remaining issues, challenges and possible applications for future investigations in the field will be addressed.
We theoretically propose a family of structurally stable monolayer halide perovskite A$_3$B$_2$C$_9$ (A=Rb, Cs; B=Pd, Pt; C=Cl, Br) with easy magnetization planes. These materials are all half-metals with large spin gaps over 1~eV accompanying with a
single spin Dirac point located at K point. When the spin-orbit coupling is switched on, we further show that Rb$_3$Pt$_2$Cl$_9$, Cs$_3$Pd$_2$Cl$_9$, and Cs$_3$Pt$_2$Cl$_9$ monolayers can open up large band gaps from 63 to 103 meV to harbor quantum anomalous Hall effect with Chern numbers of $mathcal{C}=pm1$, whenever the mirror symmetry is broken by the in-plane magnetization. The corresponding Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperatures are over 248~K. Our findings provide a potentially realizable platform to explore quantum anomalous Hall effect and spintronics at high temperatures.
