We introduce sulphur isotope engineering for the first time in the transition metal di-chalcogenides family, which enables us to disentangle the crucial role played by phonons in the optoelectronic properties of transition metal di-chalcogenides.

We explored magnetic and structural properties of multifunctional chiral nanocomposites based on magnetic nanoparticles and achiral liquid crystals. Our magnetoresponsive nanoparticles provided a stable nanocomposite when dispersed in achiral liquid crystals, giving rise to chiral supramolecular structures that can respond to UV-light illumination.

Through advanced experimental techniques, including cryomagnetic Raman spectroscopy, we derived a pressure-temperature phase diagram on CrI3.

The new concept of 2D laser based on superradiant emission opens up completely new possibilities for constructing ultra-thin radiation sources, the wavelength of which can be tuned by the number of layers of 2D semiconductor and boron nitride external electric and magnetic fields.
