Low-dimensional Quantum Materials Laboratory

• We have investigated the mode structure of polariton lattices with Lieb symmetry. In experiments we were observing condensation of exciton polariton condensation into flat energy bands.
• Our researchers have investigated phase transition from polariton solitons to Bose condensate of polaritons in a one-dimensional one dimensional systems.
• The Laboratory has researched impact of spot current on exciton resonances energy shift in monolayers of dichalcogenides of transition metals.
• The Laboratory has produced samples of a heterostructure that is a monolayer of MoSe2 between thin films of hBN. Such structures are characterized by high quality of exciton resonances.
• We have developed a theory and produced the first samples supporting the strong coupling mode between excitons in monolayers of dichalcogenides of transition metals and resonance photonic nanostructures.
• We have studied the mode structure of exciton-polaritons in a waveguide based on GaN with quantum wells. Our research has demonstrated existence of exciton-polaritons at room temperature.

Implemented results of research: An application for a useful model (valley transistor) was filed in 2018

Education and career development: Internships for two members of the academic staff of the Laboratory at the University of Sheffield has been organized.
