报告摘要：

The assembly of van der Waals heterostructures enables the creation of devices comprising materials with vastly different electronic band structures, overcoming the limitations of matching crystal structures. Sandwiching an insulator between two (semi-)metallic electrodes constitutes a blueprint for a rational design of tunnelling devices, where bidirectional injection of electrons and holes onto the radiative states leads to electroluminescent processes. The nature of the radiative states may be vastly different, including Wannier-Mott-like excitons in semiconductors, Frenkel excitons coupled to magnetization textures in ferromagnets, or intradefect transitions raising single photons. The structure of the barrier can be complex, involving multiple materials with atomically precise thickness. Consequently, the efficiency of the electroluminescent processes is tunable across multiple orders of magnitude due to the competition between the tunnelling dynamics and the radiative lifetimes. Alternative tunnelling pathways are activated by distinct device architectures at the material level, governing their spectroscopic characteristics.

Dr. Maciej Koperski is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), and a Principal Investigator at the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials. He earned dual Ph.D. degrees in Nanophysics (University of Grenoble Alpes, France, 2017) and Physics (University of Warsaw, Poland, 2017). After a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Manchester (2017–2019), he joined NUS in 2019. His research focuses on quantum light sources, excitonic physics, and atomically thin light-emitting devices, with significant contributions to the understanding of single-photon emitters and van der Waals heterostructures. He has published extensively in top-tier journals including Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Communications and Advanced Materials.
