Big Picard theorems and algebraic hyperbolicity for varieties admitting a variation of Hodge structures
In this paper, we study various hyperbolicity properties for a quasi-compact Kähler manifold $U$ which admits a complex polarized variation of Hodge structures so that each fiber of the period map is zero-dimensional. In the first part, we prove that $U$ is algebraically hyperbolic and that the generalized big Picard theorem holds for $U$. In the second part, we prove that there is a finite étale cover $\tilde{U}$ of $U$ from a quasi-projective manifold $\tilde{U}$ such that any projective compactification $X$ of $\tilde{U}$ is Picard hyperbolic modulo the boundary $X-\tilde{U}$, and any irreducible subvariety of $X$ not contained in $X-\tilde{U}$ is of general type. This result coarsely incorporates previous works by Nadel, Rousseau, Brunebarbe and Cadorel on the hyperbolicity of compactifications of quotients of bounded symmetric domains by torsion-free lattices.

Vanishing theorem for tame harmonic bundles via $L^2$-cohomology
Using $L^2$-methods, we prove a vanishing theorem for tame harmonic bundles over quasi-compact Kähler manifolds in a very general setting. As a special case, we give a completely new proof of the Kodaira type vanishing theorems for Higgs bundles due to Arapura. To prove our vanishing theorem, we construct a fine resolution of the Dolbeault complex for tame harmonic bundles via the complex of sheaves of $L^2$-forms, and we establish the Hörmander $L^2$-estimate and solve $(\bar{\partial}_E+θ)$-equations for Higgs bundles $(E,θ)$.

A characterization of complex quasi-projective manifolds uniformized by unit balls
In 1988 Simpson extended the Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau theorem to the context of Higgs bundles, and as an application he proved a uniformization theorem which characterizes complex projective manifolds and quasi-projective curves whose universal coverings are complex unit balls. In this paper we give a necessary and sufficient condition for quasi-projective manifolds to be uniformized by complex unit balls. This generalizes the uniformization theorem by Simpson. Several byproducts are also obtained in this paper.

Controlled synthesis of MoxW1-xTe2 atomic layers with emergent quantum states
Recently, new states of matter like superconducting or topological quantum states were found in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and manifested themselves in a series of exotic physical behaviors. Such phenomena have been demonstrated to exist in a series of transition metal tellurides including MoTe2, WTe2 and alloyed MoxW1-xTe2. However, the behaviors in the alloy system have been rarely addressed due to their difficulty in obtaining atomic layers with controlled composition, albeit the alloy offers a great platform to tune the quantum states. Here, we report a facile CVD method to synthesize the MoxW1-xTe2 with controllable thickness and chemical composition ratios. The atomic structure of monolayer MoxW1-xTe2 alloy was experimentally confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). Importantly, two different transport behaviors including superconducting and Weyl semimetal (WSM) states were observed in Mo-rich Mo0.8W0.2Te2 and W-rich Mo0.2W0.8Te2 samples respectively. Our results show that the electrical properties of MoxW1-xTe2 can be tuned by controlling the chemical composition, demonstrating our controllable CVD growth method is an efficient strategy to manipulate the physical properties of TMDCs. Meanwhile, it provides a perspective on further comprehension and shed light on the design of device with topological multicomponent TMDCs materials.

Picard theorems for moduli spaces of polarized varieties
As a result of our study of the hyperbolicity of the moduli space of polarized manifold, we give a general big Picard theorem for a holomorphic curve on a log-smooth pair $(X,D)$ such that $W=X\setminus D$ admits a Finsler pseudometric that is strongly negatively curved when pulled back to the curve. We show, by some refinements of the classical Viehweg-Zuo construction, that this latter condition holds for the base space $W$, if nonsingular, of any algebraic family of polarized complex projective manifolds with semi-ample canonical bundles whose induced moduli map $ϕ$ to the moduli space of such manifolds is generically finite and any $ϕ$-horizontal holomorphic curve in $W$. This yields the big Picard theorem for any holomorphic curves in the base space $U$ of such an algebraic family by allowing this base space to be singular but with generically finite moduli map. An immediate and useful corollary is that any holomorphic map from an algebraic variety to such a base space $U$ must be algebraic, i.e., the corresponding holomorphic family must be algebraic. We also show the related algebraic hyperbolicity property of such a base space $U$, which generalizes previous Arakelov inequalities and weak boundedness results for moduli stacks and offers, in addition to the Picard theorem above, another evidence in favor of the hyperbolic embeddability of such an $U$.

Picard hyperbolicity of manifolds admitting nilpotent harmonic bundles
For a quasi-compact Kähler manifold $U$ endowed with a nilpotent harmonic bundle whose Higgs field is injective at one point, we prove that $U$ is pseudo-algebraically hyperbolic, pseudo-Picard hyperbolic, and is of log general type. Moreover, we prove that there is a finite unramified cover $\tilde{U}$ of $U$ from a quasi-projective manifold $\tilde{U}$ so that any projective compactification of $\tilde{U}$ is pseudo-algebraically hyperbolic, pseudo-Picard hyperbolic and is of general type. As a byproduct, we establish some criterion of pseudo-Picard hyperbolicity and pseudo-algebraic hyperbolicity for quasi-compact Kähler manifolds.

Dimensionality-dependent type-II Weyl semimetal state in Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$
Weyl nodes and Fermi arcs in type-II Weyl semimetals (WSMs) have led to lots of exotic transport phenomena. Recently, Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$ has been established as a type-II WSM with Weyl points located near Fermi level, which offers an opportunity to study its intriguing band structure by electrical transport measurements. Here, by selecting a special sample with the thickness gradient across two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) regime, we show strong evidences that Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$ is a type-II Weyl semimetal by observing the following two dimensionality-dependent transport features: 1) A chiral-anomaly-induced anisotropic magneto-conductivity enhancement, proportional to the square of in-plane magnetic field (B$_{in}$$^{2}$); 2) An additional quantum oscillation with thickness-dependent phase shift. Our theoretical calculations show that the observed quantum oscillation originates from a Weyl-orbit-like scenario due to the unique band structure of Mo$_{0.25}$W$_{0.75}$Te$_{2}$. The in situ dimensionality-tuned transport experiment offers a new strategy to search for type-II WSMs.

On the hyperbolicity of base spaces for maximally variational families of smooth projective varieties
For smooth families with maximal variation, whose general fibers have semi-ample canonical bundle, the generalized Viehweg hyperbolicity conjecture states that the base spaces of such families are of log general type. This deep conjecture was recently proved by Popa-Schnell using the theory of Hodge modules and a theorem by Campana-Păun. In this paper we prove that those base spaces are pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolic, as predicted by the Lang conjecture: any complex quasi-projective manifold is pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolic if it is of log general type. As a consequence, we prove the Brody hyperbolicity of moduli spaces of polarized manifolds with semi-ample canonical bundle. This proves a conjecture by Viehweg-Zuo in 2003. We also prove the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of base spaces of effectively parametrized families of minimal projective manifolds of general type. This generalizes previous work by To-Yeung, in which they further assumed that these families are canonically polarized.

Big Picard theorem for moduli spaces of polarized manifolds
Consider a smooth projective family of complex polarized manifolds with semi-ample canonical sheaf over a quasi-projective manifold $V$. When the associated moduli map $V\to P_h$ from the base to coarse moduli space is quasi-finite, we prove that the generalized big Picard theorem holds for the base manifold $V$: for any projective compactification $Y$ of $V$, any holomorphic map $f:Δ-\{0\}\to V$ from the punctured unit disk to $V$ extends to a holomorphic map of the unit disk $Δ$ into $Y$. This result generalizes our previous work on the Brody hyperbolicity of $V$ (i.e. there are no entire curves on $V$), as well as a more recent work by Lu-Sun-Zuo on the Borel hyperbolicity of $V$ (i.e. any holomorphic map from a quasi-projective variety to $V$ is algebraic). We also obtain generalized big Picard theorem for bases of log Calabi-Yau families.

Phase-controllable growth of ultrathin 2D magnetic FeTe crystals
Two-dimensional (2D) magnets with intrinsic ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic (FM/AFM) ordering are highly desirable for future spintronics devices. However, the synthesis of 2D magnetic crystals, especially the direct growth on SiO2/Si substrate, is just in its infancy. Here, we report a chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-based rational growth approach for the synthesis of ultrathin FeTe crystals with controlled structural and magnetic phases. By precisely optimizing the growth temperature (Tgrowth), FeTe nanoplates with either layered tetragonal or non-layered hexagonal phase can be controlled with high-quality. The two controllable phases lead to square and triangular morphologies with a thickness down to 3.6 and 2.8 nm, respectively. More importantly, transport measurements reveal that tetragonal FeTe is antiferromagnetic with a Neel temperature (TN) about 71.8 K, while hexagonal FeTe is ferromagnetic with a Curie temperature (TC) around 220 K. Theoretical calculations indicate that the ferromagnetic order in hexagonal FeTe is originated from a concomitant lattice distortion and the spin-lattice coupling. This study represents a major step forward in the CVD growth of 2D magnetic materials on SiO2/Si substrates and highlights on their potential applications in the future spintronic devices.

Hyperbolicity of coarse moduli spaces and isotriviality for certain families
In this paper, we prove the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the coarse moduli spaces of canonically polarized or polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds in the sense of complex $V$-spaces (a generalization of complex $V$-manifolds in the sense of Satake). As an application, we prove the following hyperbolic version of Campana's isotriviality conjecture: for the smooth family of canonically polarized or polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds, when the Kobayashi pseudo-distance of the base vanishes identically, the family must be isotrivial, that is, any two fibers are isomorphic. We also prove that for the smooth projective family of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds, its variation of the family is less than or equal to the essential dimension of the base.

Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the complements of general hypersurfaces of high degree
In this paper, we prove that in any projective manifold, the complements of general hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree are Kobayashi hyperbolic. We also provide an effective lower bound on the degree. This confirms a conjecture by S. Kobayashi in 1970. Our proof, based on the theory of jet differentials, is obtained by reducing the problem to the construction of a particular example with strong hyperbolicity properties. This approach relies the construction of higher order logarithmic connections allowing us to construct logarithmic Wronskians. These logarithmic Wronskians are the building blocks of the more general logarithmic jet differentials we are able to construct. As a byproduct of our proof, we prove a more general result on the orbifold hyperbolicity for generic geometric orbifolds in the sense of Campana, with only one component and large multiplicities. We also establish a Second Main theorem type result for holomorphic entire curves intersecting general hypersurfaces, and we prove the Kobayashi hyperbolicity of the cyclic cover of a general hypersurface, again with an explicit lower bound on the degree of all these hypersurfaces.

Pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolicity of base spaces of families of minimal projective manifolds with maximal variation
In this paper we prove that every quasi-projective base space $V$ of smooth family of minimal projective manifolds with maximal variation is pseudo Kobayashi hyperbolic, i.e. $V$ is Kobayashi hyperbolic modulo a proper subvariety $Z\subsetneq V$. In particular, $V$ is algebraically degenerate, that is, every nonconstant entire curve $f:\mathbb{C}\to V$ has image $f(\mathbb{C})$ which lies in that proper subvariety $Z\subsetneq V$. As a direct consequence, we prove the Brody hyperbolicity of moduli spaces of minimal projective manifolds, which answers a question by Viehweg-Zuo in 2003.

Heavy $P$-wave quarkonium production via Higgs decays
The production of the heavy quarkonium, i.e., $|(c\bar{b})[n]\rangle$ (or $|(b\bar{c})[n]\rangle$), $|(c\bar{c})[n]\rangle$, and $|(b\bar{b})[n]\rangle$- quarkonium [$|(Q\bar{Q'})[n]\rangle$-quarkonium for short], through Higgs $H^{0}$ boson semiexclusive decays is evaluated within the NRQCD framework, where $[n]$ stands for the production of the two color-singlet $S$-wave states, $|(Q\bar{Q'})[^1S_0]_{\textbf{1}} \rangle$ and $|(Q\bar{Q'})[^3S_1]_{\textbf{1}} \rangle$, the production of the four color-singlet $P$-wave states, i.e., $|(Q\bar{Q'})[^1P_0]_{\textbf{1}}\rangle$, $|(Q\bar{Q'})[^3P_J]_{\textbf{1}}\rangle$ (with $J =[0, 1, 2]$). Moreover, according to the velocity scaling rule of the NRQCD, the production of the two color-octet components, $|(Q\bar{Q'})g[^1S_0]_{\textbf{8}} \rangle$ and $|(Q\bar{Q'})g[^3S_1]_{\textbf{8}} \rangle$, are also taken into account. The "improved trace technology" to derive the simplified analytic expressions at the amplitude level is adopted, which shall be useful for dealing with these decay channels. If all higher heavy quarkonium states decay completely to the ground states, it should be obtained $Γ{(H^0\to |(c\bar{b})[^1S_0]_{\textbf{1}}\rangle)}=15.14$ KeV, $Γ{(H^0\to |(c\bar{c})[^1S_0]_{\textbf{1}}\rangle)}=1.547$ KeV, and $Γ{(H^0\to |(b\bar{b})[^1S_0]_{\textbf{1}}\rangle)}=1.311$ KeV. The production of $5.6\times10^{5}$ Bc meson, $4.7\times10^{4}$ charmonium meson, and $4.9\times10^{4}$ bottomonium meson per year in Higgs decays at the HE/HL-LHC can be obtained.

Ultrahigh Magnetic Fields Produced by Shearing Carbon Nanotubes
In laboratories, ultrahigh magnetic fields are usually produced with very large currents through superconducting, resistive or hybrid magnets, which require extreme conditions, such as low temperature, huge cooling water or tens of megawatts of power. In this work we report that when single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are cut, there are magnetic moments at the shearing end of SWNTs. The average magnetic moment is found to be 41.5+-9.8uB per carbon atom in the end states with a width of 1 nm at temperature of 300.0K, suggesting ultrahigh magnetic fields can be produced. The dangling sigma and pi bonds of the carbon atoms at the shearing ends play important roles for this unexpectedly high magnetic moments because the oxidation temperature of cut SWNTs is found to be as low as 312 in dry air. Producing ultrahigh magnetic field with SWNTs has the advantage of working at higher working temperature and with low energy consumption, suggesting great potentials of applications.
