Fractional Chern insulators (FCI) were proposed theoretically about a decade ago. These exotic states of matter are fractional quantum Hall states realized when a nearly flat Chern band is partially filled, even in the absence of an external magnetic field. Recently, exciting experimental signatures of such states have been reported in twisted MoTe2 bilayer systems. Motivated by these experimental and theoretical progresses, in this paper, we develop a projective construction for the composite fermion states (either the Jain's sequence or the composite Fermi liquid) in a partially filled Chern band with Chern number C=±1, which is capable of capturing the microscopics, e.g., symmetry fractionalization patterns and magnetoroton excitations. On the mean-field level, the ground states' and excited states' composite fermion wave functions are found self-consistently in an enlarged Hilbert space. Beyond the mean field, these wave functions can be projected back to the physical Hilbert space to construct the electronic wave functions, allowing direct comparison with FCI states from exact diagonalization on finite lattices. We find that the projected electronic wave function corresponds to the combinatorial hyperdeterminant of a tensor. When applied to the traditional Galilean invariant Landau level context, the present construction exactly reproduces Jain's composite fermion wave functions. We apply this projective construction to the twisted bilayer MoTe2 system. Experimentally relevant properties are computed, such as the magnetoroton band structures and quantum numbers.

Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have received much attention in the past decade not only due to the new fundamental physics, but also due to the emergent applications in these materials. Currently chalcogenide deficiencies in TMDs are commonly believed either during the high-temperature growth procedure or in the nanofabrication process resulting in significant changes of their reported physical properties in the literature. Here, we perform a systematic study involving pristine stochiometric HfSe2, Se-deficient HfSe1.9, and HfSe1.8. Stochiometric HfSe2 transport results show semiconducting behavior with a gap of 1.1eV. Annealing HfSe2 under high vacuum at room temperature causes the Se loss resulting in HfSe1.9, which shows unconventionally large magnetoresistivity following the extended Kohler rule at low temperatures below 50 K. Moreover, a clear electrical resistivity crossover, mimicking the metal-insulator transition, is observed in the HfSe1.9 single crystal. Further increasing the degree of deficiency in HfSe1.8 results in complete metallic electrical transport at all temperatures down to 2 K. Such a drastic difference in the transport behaviors of stoichiometric and Se-deficient HfSe2 further emphasizes the defect control and engineering could be an effective method that could be used to tailor the electronic structure of 2D materials, potentially unlock new states of matter, or even discover new materials.

Chevrel phase compounds have attracted increasing attention as electrochemical energy storage materials and electro-catalysts. Benefiting from their unique crystal structure, Chevrel phase compounds can not only function as the host structures for reversible intercalation of a broad range of cations, but also exhibit high catalytic activity in electrochemical reduction reactions. Here we provide an overview of recent progress in the development of Chevrel phase materials including new understanding of structural features, synthetic methods, and electrochemical properties. A brief conclusion and perspectives on the future development of Chevrel phase materials are also provided.

Through nonlinear self-focusing, femtosecond pulses can propagate several kilometers beyond diffraction limits, forming an ionization channel in air known as a laser filaments. It has been demonstrated that in the wake of the filament, aerosols can be effectively cleared to improve the transmission of subsequent laser pulses or secondary light sources, pertinent to applications in atmospheric sensing. However, the current understanding of aerosol clearing is founded on interactions with droplets to simulate fogs and clouds and thus does not extend to solid particles or atmospheric debris. Using optical trapping, we isolate both graphite and silica microparticles and directly measure the subsequent displacement caused by the filament using time-resolved shadowgraphy. The shock wave from the filament is demonstrated to propel particles away from the filament, directly contributing to atmospheric debris clearing. Particles exposed to the laser light in either the intense filament core or the surrounding energy reservoir are axially displaced along the beam path. It is found that the optomechanical properties of the particle largely influence the axial displacement induced by laser exposure through mechanisms such as radiation pressure, mass ejection from ablation or optical damage, and particle deagglomeration.
