Erratum: Layer-dependent quantum cooperation of electron and hole states in the anomalous semimetal WTe2

چکیده
‘To calculate bulk Fermi surfaces reported in Fig. 3 (right panel), we adopt a two step procedure: (i) first, we projected the bulk Hamiltonian onto a basis made of s and dW-centered, and s and p Te-centered orbitals, for a total of 112 Wannier functions, by means of the WANNIER90 package32; (ii) subsequently, the Wannier Hamiltonian is used to build up the bulk Green’s function as G(k,w)1⁄4 1/(w H(k)þ id), which, in turn, gives the Fermi surface maps at the chosen binding energy, w.’

Layer-dependent quantum cooperation of electron and hole states in the anomalous semimetal WTe2
The behaviour of electrons and holes in a crystal lattice is a fundamental quantum phenomenon, accounting for a rich variety of material properties. Boosted by the remarkable electronic and physical properties of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides have recently received renewed attention. In this context, the anomalous bulk pr...
متن کاملDramatically decreased magnetoresistance in non-stoichiometric WTe2 crystals
Recently, the layered semimetal WTe2 has attracted renewed interest owing to the observation of a non-saturating and giant positive magnetoresistance (~10(5)%), which can be useful for magnetic memory and spintronic devices. However, the underlying mechanisms of the giant magnetoresistance are still under hot debate. Herein, we grew the stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric WTe2 crystals to tes...
متن کاملTuning magnetotransport in a compensated semimetal at the atomic scale
Either in bulk form, or in atomically thin crystals, layered transition metal dichalcogenides continuously reveal new phenomena. The latest example is 1T'-WTe2, a semimetal found to exhibit the largest known magnetoresistance in the bulk, and predicted to become a topological insulator in strained monolayers. Here we show that reducing the thickness through exfoliation enables the electronic pr...
متن کاملEnergy Levels of InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with Different Sizes
In this paper, we have studied the strain, band-edge, and energy levels of cubic InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) surrounded by GaAs. It is shown that overall strain value is larger in InGaAs-GaAs interfaces, as well as in smaller QDs. Also, it is proved that conduction and valence band-edges and electron-hole levels are size dependent; larger QD sizes appeared to result in the lower recombination...
متن کاملOptical properties of the perfectly compensated semimetal WTe2
The optical properties of layered tungsten ditelluride have been measured over a wide temperature and frequency range for light polarized in the a-b planes. A striking low-frequency plasma edge develops in the reflectance at low temperature where this material is a perfectly compensated semimetal. The optical conductivity is described using a two-Drude model which treats the electron and hole p...
