abstract = {Two-dimensional (2D) materials have disrupted materials science due to
the development of van der Waals technology. It enables the stacking of
ultrathin layers of materials characterized by vastly different
electronic structures to create man-made heterostructures and devices
with rationally tailored properties, circumventing limitations of
matching crystal structures, lattice constants, and geometry of
constituent materials and supporting substrates. 2D materials exhibit
extraordinary mechanical flexibility, strong light-matter interactions
driven by their excitonic response, single photon emission from atomic
centers, stable ferromagnetism in sub-nm thin films, fractional quantum
Hall effect in high-quality devices, and chemoselectivity at ultrahigh
surface-to-volume ratio. Consequently, van der Waals heterostructures
with atomically flat interfaces demonstrate an unprecedented degree of
intertwined mechanical, chemical, optoelectronic, and magnetic
properties. This constitutes a foundation for multiproperty sensing,
based on complex intra- and intermaterial interactions, and a robust
response to external stimuli originating from the environment. Here,
recent progress are reviewed in the development of sensing applications
with 2D materials, highlighting the areas where van der Waals
heterostructures offer the highest sensitivity, simultaneous responses
to multiple distinct externalities due to their atomic thickness in
conjunction with unique material combinations, and conceptually new
sensing methodology.},

abstract = {Monolayers (MLs) of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides emit
light very efficiently and display rich spin-valley physics, with
gyromagnetic (g) factors of about-4. Here, we investigate how these
properties can be tailored by alloying. Magneto-optical spectroscopy is
used to reveal the peculiar properties of excitonic complexes in
MoxW1-xSe2 MLs with different metal concentrations. We show that the
alloys feature extremely high g factors for neutral excitons, that
change gradually with the composition up to reaching values of the order
of-10 for x approximate to 0.2. First-principles calculations
quantitatively identify the alloy-induced mixing between different
conduction band valleys as the underlying mechanism originating the
anomalous composition dependence of the neutral exciton g factor. The
theoretical framework also suggests a high strain sensitivity of the
alloys, making them promising candidates for tailor-made optoelectronic
devices.},

abstract = {Magneto-optical excitations in antiferromagnetic d systems can originate
from a multiplicity of light-spin and spin-spin interactions, as the
light and spin degrees of freedom can be entangled. This is exemplified
in van der Waals systems with attendant strong anisotropy between
in-plane and out-of-plane directions, such as and films studied here.
The rich interplay between the magnetic ordering and sub-bandgap optical
transitions poses a challenge to resolve the mechanisms driving
spin-entangled optical transitions, as well as the single-particle
bandgap itself. Here, a high-fidelity ab initio theory is applied to
find a realistic estimation of the bandgap by elucidating the atom- and
orbital-resolved contributions to the fundamental sub-bands. It is
further demonstrated that the spin-entangled excitations, observable as
photoluminescence and absorption resonances, originate from an on-site
spin-flip transition confined to a magnetic atom (Mn or Ni). The
evolution of the spin-flip transition in a magnetic field is used to
deduce the effective exchange coupling and anisotropy constants.},

abstract = {The Raman scattering response of the biaxial antiferromagnet CoPS3 has
been investigated as a function of both magnetic field and temperature.
The peaks observed in the low-frequency spectral range (90-200 cm-1)
have been identified as hybrid magnon-phonon excitations. The energies
of the bare magnon and phonon modes and the effective coupling strengths
between different excitation pairs have been determined. The strong and
selective magnon-phonon interaction largely accounts for the pronounced
splitting of two phononlike modes observed at 152 and 158 cm-1 in the
antiferromagnetic phase of CoPS3. Based on the identification of bare
magnon excitations and their magnetic-field dependence, we propose an updated set of parameters for the effective exchange (Jeff = 9.9 meV) and biaxial magnetic anisotropy (D = 4.3 meV and E = -0.7 meV) and advocate for an apparent anisotropic g factor (gx = gy = 2},

abstract = {Optically dark states play an important role in the electronic and
optical properties of monolayers (MLs) of semiconducting transition
metal dichalcogenides. The effect of temperature on the in-plane-field
activation of the neutral and charged dark excitons is investigated in a
WSe2 ML encapsulated in hexagonal BN flakes. The brightening rates of
the neutral dark (XD) and grey (XG) excitons and the negative dark trion
(TD) differ substantially at particular temperature. More importantly,
they weaken considerably by about 3-4 orders of magnitude with
temperature increased from 4.2 K to 100 K. The quenching of the
dark-related emissions is accompanied by the two-order-of-magnitude
increase in the emissions of their neutral bright counterparts, i.e.
neutral bright exciton (XB) and spin-singlet (TS) and spin-triplet (TT)
negative trions, due to the thermal activations of dark states.
Furthermore, the energy splittings between the dark XD and TD complexes
and the corresponding bright XB, TS, and TT ones vary with temperature
rises from 4.2 K to 100 K. This is explained in terms of the different
exciton-phonon coupling for the bright and dark excitons stemming from
their distinct symmetry properties.},
