The Construction of Professional Identity
Article
Electron superlattices allow the engineering of correlated and topological quantum phenomena. The recent emergence of moiré superlattices in two-dimensional heterostructures has led to exciting discoveries rel...
Article
Coupled two-dimensional electron-hole bilayers provide a unique platform to study strongly correlated Bose-Fermi mixtures in condensed matter. Electrons and holes in spatially separated layers can bind to form...
Article
Thermally excited electrons and holes form a quantum-critical Dirac fluid in ultraclean graphene and their electrodynamic responses are described by a universal hydrodynamic theory. The hydrodynamic Dirac flui...
Chapter
Multilingualism, or its more recent variation, plurilingualism, underscores the strong recognition of the multiple languages and varieties of language in any speech community. The deficit view of language lear...
Article
Moiré superlattices in van der Waals heterostructures have emerged as a powerful tool for engineering quantum phenomena. Here we report the observation of a correlated interlayer exciton insulator in a double-...
Article
Moiré patterns of transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers have proved to be an ideal platform on which to host unusual correlated electronic phases, emerging magnetism and correlated exciton physics. Wh...
Article
Surface plasmons, collective electromagnetic excitations coupled to conduction electron oscillations, enable the manipulation of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. Plasmon dispersion of metallic struc...
Article
Moiré superlattices can be used to engineer strongly correlated electronic states in two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures, as recently demonstrated in the correlated insulating and superconducting st...
Article
The electric field generated by a gate electrode is exploited to trigger a reversible ferromagnetic–paramagnetic phase transition in a magnetic topological insulator close to a quantum critical point.

Article
Investigation of the electronic structure in few-layer phosphorene reveals optical transitions relevant for technologically important electronic and optoelectronic applications.
Chapter
This chapter opens with an intriguing question asked by one of the Business English undergraduate students whose experience invokes several key issues in ESP education, including transferability of classroom l...
Chapter
This chapter presents the longitudinal multiple-case design that is adopted in this study to explore five focal students’ learning experiences. The data include life story interviews with the students, their j...
Chapter
This chapter demonstrates that the Business English students participated in three salient and interlocking communities of practice—the mediating community of practice (the Business English programme), the tra...
Chapter
This chapter presents how the five Business English students’ discursive construction of professional identity was received or in a sense validated by eight international business practitioners. On the whole, ...
Chapter
This chapter presents the conceptualisation of professional identity. By drawing on research in communities of practice, professional socialisation, discourse, identity, indexicality, and business genre knowle...
Chapter
This chapter concerns what professional identity emerged for the Business English students. By conducting a qualitative examination of five focal students’ experiences of learning Business English at universit...
Chapter
This chapter takes the Business English students’ writing in business genres as a site for enacting their emerging professional identity and focuses on how they deployed business genre knowledge in their writi...
Chapter
This chapter discusses the results in relation to professional identity construction, communities of practice building, business genre knowledge and indexing competence development in Business English educatio...
