Polymorphic 2D materials allow structural and electronic phase engineering, which can be
used to realize energy-efficient, cost-effective, and scalable device applications. The phase …

In principle, quantum key distribution (QKD) offers information-theoretic security based on
the laws of physics. In practice, however, the imperfections of realistic devices might …

The emergence of superconductivity in 2D materials has attracted much attention and there
has been rapid development in recent years because of their fruitful physical properties …

The kagome metals AV 3 Sb 5 (A= K, Rb, and Cs) have received intensive research interest
due to the presence of charge density waves (CDWs), Z 2 topological surface states, and …

The layered transition metal dichalcogenides which show an inherent tendency towards
charge density wave order are traditionally considered to realize rather two-dimensional …

Crystal phase, a critical structural characteristic beyond the morphology, size, dimension,
facet, etc., determines the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials. As a group of …

We demonstrate analytically and numerically, that a thin film of an antiferromagnetic (AFM)
material, having biaxial magnetic anisotropy and being driven by an external spin-transfer …

1 T-TaSe 2 is widely believed to host a Mott metal-insulator transition in the charge density
wave (CDW) phase according to the spectroscopic observation of a band gap that extends …

When two periodic potentials compete in materials, one may adopt the other, which
straightforwardly generates topological defects. Of particular interest are domain walls in …

We report on the emergence of robust superconducting order in single crystal alloys of
TaSe2− x S x (0≤×≤ 2). The critical temperature of the alloy is surprisingly higher than that …
