A new multifunctional 2D material is theoretically predicted based on systematic ab-initio calculations and model simulations for the honeycomb lattice of endohedral fullerene W@C28 molecules. It has structural bistability, ferroelectricity, multiple magnetic phases, and excellent valley characters and can be easily functionalized by the proximity effect with magnetic isolators such as MnTiO3. Furthermore, we may also manipulate the valley Hall and spin transport properties by selectively switch a few W@C28 molecules to the metastable phase. These findings pave a new way in integrate different functions in a single 2D material for technological innovations.

In this paper, we discuss the results of our study of the synthesis of endohedral iron-fullerenes. A low energy Fe+ ion beam was irradiated to C60 thin film by using a deceleration system. Fe+-irradiated C60 thin film was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography and laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We investigated the performance of the deceleration system for using a Fe+ beam with low energy. In addition, we attempted to isolate the synthesized material from a Fe+-irradiated C60 thin film by high performance liquid chromatography.

Well-protected magnetization, tunable quantum states and long coherence time are desired for developing magnetic molecules as qubits quantum information processing and storage. Based on the first-principles calculations and dynamic simulations, we de monstrate that endohedral fullerene molecule Ir@C28 has stable magnetization, huge magnetic anisotropy energy (> 30 meV per molecule) and bias-tunable structural phases. In particular, qubits based on Ir@C28 may have coherence times up to several mS at high temperature (~100K) after full consideration of spin-vibration couplings. These results suggest a new strategy of using endohedral fullerene as qubits for technological breakthroughs.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are strongly affected by the dielectric environment including substrates, making it an important factor in designing materials for quantum and electronic technologies. Yet, first-principles evaluation of charged defect energetics in 2D materials typically do not include substrates due to the high computational cost. We present a general continuum model approach to incorporate substrate effects directly in density-functional theory calculations of charged defects in the 2D material alone. We show that this technique accurately predicts charge defect energies compared to much more expensive explicit substrate calculations, but with the computational expediency of calculating defects in free-standing 2D materials. Using this technique, we rapidly predict the substantial modification of charge transition levels of two defects in MoS$_2$ and ten defects promising for quantum technologies in hBN, due to SiO$_2$ and diamond substrates. This establishes a foundation for high-throughput computational screening of new quantum defects in 2D materials that critically accounts for substrate effects.

Identification and design of defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials as promising single photon emitters (SPE) requires a deep understanding of underlying carrier recombination mechanisms. Yet, the dominant mechanism of carrier recombination at def ects in 2D materials has not been well understood, and some outstanding questions remain: How do recombination processes at defects differ between 2D and 3D systems? What factors determine defects in 2D materials as excellent SPE at room temperature? In order to address these questions, we developed first-principles methods to accurately calculate the radiative and non-radiative recombination rates at defects in 2D materials, using h-BN as a prototypical example. We reveal the carrier recombination mechanism at defects in 2D materials being mostly dominated by defect-defect state recombination in contrast to defect-bulk state recombination in most 3D semiconductors. In particular, we disentangle the non-radiative recombination mechanism into key physical quantities: zero-phonon line (ZPL) and Huang-Rhys factor. At the end, we identified strain can effectively tune the electron-phonon coupling at defect centers and drastically change non-radiative recombination rates. Our theoretical development serves as a general platform for understanding carrier recombination at defects in 2D materials, while providing pathways for engineering of quantum efficiency of SPE.

Finding new two-dimensional (2D) materials with novel quantum properties is highly desirable for technological innovations. In this work, we studied a series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with different metal cores and discovered various attract ive properties, such as room-temperature magnetic ordering, strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, huge topological band gap (>200meV), and excellent spin-filtering performance. As many MOFs have been successfully synthesized in experiments, our results suggest realistic new 2D functional materials for the design of spintronic nanodevices.
