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 …

Since graphene became available by a scotch tape technique, a vast class of two-
dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) layered materials has been researched intensively …

Understanding the competition between superconductivity and other ordered states (such as
antiferromagnetic or charge-density-wave (CDW) state) is a central issue in condensed …

CsV 3 Sb 5 is a newly discovered Z 2 topological kagome metal showing the coexistence of
a charge-density-wave (CDW)-like order at T*= 94 K and superconductivity (SC) at T c= 2.5 …

The physical description of all materials is rooted in quantum mechanics, which describes
how atoms bond and electrons interact at a fundamental level. Although these quantum …

Pressure is a fundamental thermodynamic variable that can be used to control the properties
of materials, because it reduces interatomic distances and profoundly modifies electronic …

The layered semimetal tungsten ditelluride (WTe2) has recently been found to be a two-
dimensional topological insulator (2D TI) when thinned down to a single monolayer, with …

Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

Transition metal dichalcogenides are layered materials which are composed of transition
metals and chalcogens of the group VIA in a 1: 2 ratio. These layered materials have been …

Recently there have been many research breakthroughs in two-dimensional (2D) materials
