The electronic properties of $pi$-conjugated two-dimensional (2D) polymers near the Fermi level are determined by structural topology and chemical composition. Thus, tight-binding (TB) calculations of the corresponding fundamental network can be used to explore the parameter space to find configurations with intriguing properties before designing the the atomistic 2D polymer network. The vertex-transitive textbf{fes} lattice, which is also called square-octagon lattice, is rich in interesting topological features including Dirac points and flat bands. Herein, we study its electronic and topological properties within the TB framework using representative parameters for chemical systems. Secondly, we demonstrate that the rational implementation of band structure features obtained from TB calculations into 2D polymers is feasible with a family of 2D polymers possessing textbf{fes} structure. A one-to-one band structure correspondence between fundamental network and 2D polymers is found. Moreover, changing the relative length of linkers connecting the triangulene units in the 2D polymers reflect tuning of hopping parameters in the TB model. These perturbations allow to open sizeable local band gaps at various positions in the Brillouin zone. From analysis of Berry curvature flux, none of the polymers exhibits a large topologically non-trivial band gap. However, we find a particular configuration of semimetallic characteristics with separate electron and hole pockets, which possess very low effective masses both for electrons (as small as $m^*_mathrm{e} = 0.05$) and holes (as small as $m^*_mathrm{h} = 0.01$).

We have predicted a new phase of nitrogen with octagon structure in our previous study, which we referred to as octa-nitrogene (ON). In this work, we make further investigation on its electronic structure. The phonon band structure has no imaginary p honon modes, which indicates that ON is dynamically stable. Using ab initio molecular dynamic simulations, the structure is found to stable up to 100K, and ripples that are similar to that of graphene is formed on the ON sheet. Based on DFT calculation on its band structure, single layer ON is a 2D large-gap semiconductor with a band gap of 4.7eV. Because of inter-layer interaction, stackings can decrease the band gap. Biaxial tensile strain and perpendicular electric field can greatly influence the band structure of ON, in which the gap decreases and eventually closes as the biaxial tensile strain or the perpendicular electric field increases. In other words, both biaxial tensile strain and perpendicular electric field can drive the insulator-to-metal transition, and thus can be used to engineer the band gap of ON. From our results, ON has potential applications in the electronics, semiconductors, optics and spintronics, and so on.
Using evolutionary algorithm for crystal structure prediction, we present a new stable two-dimensional (2D) carbon allotrope composed of polymerized as-indacenes (PAI) in a zigzag pattern, namely PAI-graphene whose energy is lower than most of the re ported 2D allotropes of graphene. Crucially, the crystal structure realizes a nonsymmorphic layer group that enforces a nontrivial global topology of the band structure with two Dirac cones lying perfectly at the Fermi level. The absence of electron/hole pockets makes PAI-graphene a pristine crystalline topological semimetal having anisotropic Fermi velocities with a high value of $7.0 times 10^{5}$ m/s. We show that while the semimetallic property of the allotrope is robust against the application of strain, the positions of the Dirac cone and the Fermi velocities can be modified significantly with strain. Moreover, by combining strain along both the x- and y-directions, two band

The discovery of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at well-defined interfaces between insulating complex oxides provides the opportunity for a new generation of all-oxide electronics. Particularly, the 2DEG at the interface between two perovskite i nsulators represented by the formula of ABO3, such as LaAlO3 and SrTiO3, has attracted significant attention. In recent years, progresses have been made to decipher the puzzle of the origin of interface conduction, to design new types of oxide interfaces, and to improve the interfacial carrier mobility significantly. These achievements open the door to explore fundamental as well as applied physics of complex oxides. Here, we review our recent experimental work on metallic and insulating interfaces controlled by interfacial redox reactions in SrTiO3-based heterostructures. Due to the presence of oxygen-vacancies at the SrTiO3 surface, metallic conduction can be created at room temperature in perovskite-type interfaces when the overlayer oxide ABO3 involves Al, Ti, Zr, or Hf elements at the B-sites. Furthermore, relying on interface-stabilized oxygen vacancies, we have created a new type of 2DEG at the heterointerface between SrTiO3 and a spinel {gamma}-Al2O3 epitaxial film with compatible oxygen ions sublattices. The spinel/perovskite oxide 2DEG exhibits an electron mobility exceeding 100,000 cm2V-1s-1, more than one order of magnitude higher than those of hitherto investigated perovskite-type interfaces. Our findings pave the way for design of high-mobility all-oxide electronic devices and open a route towards studies of mesoscopic physics with complex oxides.
The new-found two-dimensional antiferromagnetic GdTe$_3$ is attractive owing to its highest carrier mobility among all known layered magnetic materials, as well as its potential application for novel magnetic twistronic and spintronic devices. Here, we have used high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate its Fermi surface topology and low-lying electronic band structure. The Fermi surface is partially gapped by charge density wave below the transition temperature, the residual part reconstructs making GdTe$_3$ metallic. The high carrier mobility can be attributed to the sharp and nearly linear band dispersions near the Fermi energy. We find that the scattering rate of the linear band near the Fermi energy is almost linear within a wide energy range, indicating that GdTe$_3$ is a non-Fermi liquid metal. Our results in this paper provide a fundamental understanding of this layered Van der Waals antiferromagnetic materials to guide future studies on it.

We have studied the spin dynamics of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system in a GaAs/Al_{0.3}Ga_{0.7}As single quantum well by time-resolved Faraday rotation and time-resolved Kerr rotation in dependence on the initial degree of spin polari zation, P, of the electrons. By increasing the initial spin polarization from the low-P regime to a significant P of several percent, we find that the spin dephasing time, $T_2^ast$, increases from about 20 ps to 200 ps; Moreover, $T_2^ast$ increases with temperature at small spin polarization but decreases with temperature at large spin polarization. All these features are in good agreement with theoretical predictions by Weng and Wu [Phys. Rev. B {bf 68}, 075312 (2003)]. Measurements as a function of spin polarization at fixed electron density are performed to further confirm the theory. A fully microscopic calculation is performed by setting up and numerically solving the kinetic spin Bloch equations, including the Dyakonov-Perel and the Bir-Aronov-Pikus mechanisms, with {em all} the scattering explicitly included. We reproduce all principal features of the experiments, i.e., a dramatic decrease of spin dephasing with increasing $P$ and the temperature dependences at different spin polarizations.
