Department of Reactive Transport
In the Reactive Transport Department we study the heterogeneity of material surface reactivity, including sorption and dissolution reactions and material degradation. We use experimental and numerical methods to quantify and predict surface reaction rates using rate maps. Transport in complex porous materials is another important aspect of our work. We develop conservative and reactive radionuclide tracers using our cyclotron laboratory and apply positron emission tomography (PET). We use and develop numerical methods for transport analysis at the pore scale and above. Our research is motivated and driven by applications in nuclear safety research and we provide critical links to earth, environmental and materials sciences.

Abstract
Repulsive and long-range exciton-exciton interactions are crucial for the exploration of one-dimensional (1D) correlated quantum phases in the solid state. However, the experimental realization of nanoscale confinement of 1D dipolar exciton has thus far been limited. Here, we demonstrated atomically precise lateral heterojunctions based on transitional-metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) as a new platform for 1D dipolar excitons. The dynamics and transport of the interfacial charge transfer excitons in a type II WSe2-WSSe lateral heterostructure were spatially and temporally imaged using ultrafast microscopy. The expansion of the exciton cloud driven by dipolar repulsion was found to be strongly density dependent and highly anisotropic. The interaction strength between the 1D excitons was determined to be ~3.9 × 10^-14 eV cm^-2 corresponding to a dipolar length of 310 nm, which is a factor of 2-3 larger than the interlayer excitons at two-dimensional van der Waals vertical interfaces. These results suggest 1D dipolar excitons with large static in-plane dipole moment in lateral TMDC heterojunctions as a new system for investigating quantum many-body physics.
