چکیده

Two-dimensional metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are of interest for studying phenomena such as charge-density wave (CDW) and superconductivity. Few-layer tantalum diselenides (TaSe2) are typical metallic TMDs exhibiting rich CDW phase transitions. However, a description of the structural, electronic and vibrational properties for different crystal phases and stacking configurations, essential for interpretation of experiments, is lacking. We present first- principles calculations of structural phase energetics, band dispersion near the Fermi level, phonon properties and vibrational modes at the Brillouin zone center for different layer numbers, crystal phases and stacking geometries. Evolution of the Fermi surfaces as well as the phonon dispersions as a function of layer number reveals dramatic dimensionality effects in this CDW material. Our results indicate strong electronic interlayer coupling, detail energetically possible stacking geometries, and provide a basis for interpretation of Raman spectra.

Pressure-dependent optical and vibrational properties of monolayer molybdenum disulfide.

Controlling the band gap by tuning the lattice structure through pressure engineering is a relatively new route for tailoring the optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Here, we investigate the electronic structure and lattice vibrational dynamics of the distorted monolayer 1T-MoS2 (1T') and the monolayer 2H-MoS2 via a diamond anvil cell (DAC) and density functional theory...

Contrast and Raman spectroscopy study of single- and few-layered charge density wave material: 2H-TaSe2

In this article, we report the first successful preparation of single- and few-layers of tantalum diselenide (2H-TaSe₂) by mechanical exfoliation technique. Number of layers is confirmed by white light contrast spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Vibrational properties of the atomically thin layers of 2H-TaSe₂ are characterized by micro-Raman spectroscopy. Room temperature Raman mea...

A combined experimental and theoretical study of the electronic and vibrational properties of bulk and few - layer Td - WTe 2 Manoj

The recent discovery of non-saturating giant positive magnetoresistance in Td-WTe2 has aroused great interest in this material. We have studied the structural, electronic and vibrational properties of bulk and few-layer Td-WTe2 experimentally and theoretically. Spin-orbit coupling is found to govern the semi-metallic character of Td-WTe2. Its structural link with the metallic 1T form provides a...

Quasiparticle spectra, charge-density waves, superconductivity, and electron-phonon coupling in 2H-NbSe2.

High-resolution photoemission has been used to study the electronic structure of the charge-density wave (CDW) and superconducting dichalcogenide, 2H-NbSe2. From the extracted self-energies, important components of the quasiparticle interactions have been identified. In contrast to previously studied TaSe2, the CDW transition does not affect the electronic properties significantly. The electron...
