Ab initio theory of magnetism in two-dimensional 1T-TaS2

We investigate, using a first-principles density functional methodology, the nature of magnetism in monolayer 1T phase of tantalum disulfide (1T-TaS2). Magnetism in the insulating phase of TaS2 is a longstanding puzzle and has led to a variety of theoretic ...

Mott versus Hybridization Gap in the Low-Temperature Phase of 1T-TaS2

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

We address the long-standing problem of the ground state of 1T-TaS2 by computing the correlated electronic structure of stacked bilayers using the GW + EDMFT method. Depending on the surface termination, the semi-infinite uncorrelated system is either band ...

Crystal field, ligand field, and interorbital effects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides across the periodic table

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in two polymorphs, referred to as 1T and 1H, depending on the coordination sphere of the transition metal atom. The broken octahedral and trigonal prismatic symmetries lead to different cry ...

Unified picture of lattice instabilities in metallic transition metal dichalcogenides

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the 1T polymorph are subject to a rich variety of periodic lattice distortions, often referred to as charge-density waves (CDWs) when not too strong. We study from first principles the fermiology and phonon disper ...

Excitonic effects in two-dimensional TiSe2 from hybrid density functional theory

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), whether in bulk or in monolayer form, exhibit a rich variety of charge-density-wave (CDW) phases and stronger periodic lattice distortions. While the actual role of nesting has been under debate, it is well understo ...

2D transition metal dichalcogenides

Andras Kis, Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier, Sajedeh Manzeli, Dmitry Ovchinnikov

Graphene is very popular because of its many fascinating properties, but its lack of an electronic bandgap has stimulated the search for 2D materials with semiconducting character. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which are semiconductors of the t ...

Disorder engineering and conductivity dome in ReS2 with electrolyte gating

Andras Kis, Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier, Fernando Gargiulo, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Adrien Victor Allain, Dumitru Dumcenco

Atomically thin rhenium disulphide (ReS2) is a member of the transition metal dichalcogenide family of materials. This two-dimensional semiconductor is characterized by weak interlayer coupling and a distorted 1T structure, which leads to anisotropy in ele ...
