SUMMARY:ICFO | GABRIELE PASQUALE
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Understanding and controlling correlated and topological states
  in low-dimensional semiconductors requires experimental tools that can re
 veal hidden electronic degrees of freedom with high sensitivity.\nIn this 
 talk\, I will present how out-of-plane tunneling currents provide such acc
 ess. Using this approach\, we achieved the electrical detection of flat el
 ectronic bands in van der Waals semiconductors\, directly resolving their 
 density of states trend. I will then show how the same technique enabled t
 he electrical detection of light&rsquo\;s chirality in an achiral system a
 nd uncovered the longstanding prediction of spin polarization at the valen
 ce band edge of InSe. These findings highlight how tunneling spectroscopy 
 can uncover otherwise inaccessible aspects of band-structure physics. I wi
 ll conclude with a brief outlook on our latest efforts\, which aim at cont
 actless transport in 2D semiconductors and novel optical probes in hybrid 
 heterostructures.
