      <description>Nano Letters: The integration of diverse electronic phenomena, such as magnetism and nontrivial topology, into a single low-dimensional system gives rise to unusual quantum effects. Here we combine two 2D topological insulators, α-bismuthene and β-silicene, with a Ho monolayer. Bismuthene is synthesized within a rarely realized…</description>

      <description>arXiv: Orbital angular momentum (OAM) is a promising degree of freedom for low-dissipation transport and magnetization control, yet its relaxation mechanisms remain controversial, with atomcentered approximations (ACA) predicting much shorter OAM diffusion lengths than experiments. We address this discrepancy using…</description>

      <description>arXiv: The Klein tunnel effect phenomenon makes it impossible to permanently confine charge carriers in massless nanostructures. However, applying a constant magnetic field allows these electrons to be temporarily localized, thus forming quasi-bound states. In this study, we analyze the mechanism of electron diffusion through…</description>
