The search for new materials for energy -efficient electronic devices has gained unprecedented importance. Among the various classes of magnetic materials driving this search are antiferromagnets, magnetoelectrics, and systems with topological spin excitat ...
We report a combined theoretical and experimental investigation devoted to getting deeper insights into the exotic magnetic properties of the low-dimensional SeCuO3 system, for which the two inequivalent Cu(1) and Cu(2) sites show different quantum dynamic ...
Compound TiSe2 has received much attention among the transition metal chalcogenides because of its thrilling physical properties concerning atypical resistivity behavior, the emergence of charge density wave (CDW) state, induced superconductivity, etc. Her ...
Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are layered compounds that support many electronic phases, including various charge density waves, superconducting, and Mott insulating states. Their intercalation with magnetic ions introduces magnetic sublayers, wh ...
Terahertz and far-infrared techniques are combined with complementary Raman and inelastic neutron scattering results to probe the low-energy phonon dynamics of archetypal antiferroelectric candidate - francisite (Cu3Bi(SeO3)(2)O2Cl). The combined results c ...
Proximity-induced superconductivity in a ferromagnet can induce Cooper pairs with a finite center-of-mass momentum and stabilize Josephson junctions (JJs) with pi phase difference in superconductor-ferromagnet-superconductor heterostructures. The emergence ...
2H-NbSe2 is a prototypical charge-density-wave (CDW) system, exhibiting such a symmetry-breaking quantum ground state in its bulk and down to a single-atomic-layer limit. However, how this state depends on dimensionality and what governs the dimensionality ...
Superconductivity in van der Waals materials, such as NbSe2 and TaS2, is fundamentally novel due to the effects of dimensionality, crystal symmetries, and strong spin-orbit coupling. In this work, we perform tunnel spectroscopy on NbSe2 by utilizing MoS2 o ...
Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) can only occur in noncentrosymmetric crystals in the leading electric-dipole approximation. Transition metal dichalcogenides with the 1T octahedral coordination is centrosymmetric, hence precluding SHG. Here we repo ...
Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides like tantalum diselenide (TaSe2) exhibit exciting behaviors at low temperatures, including the emergence of charge density wave (CDW) states. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to catalog influen ...
