High quality single crystals are critical for experimental materials science research. ZrSnTe
represents such an example. This material belongs to the ZrSiS-type topological material …

The layered material ZrSiTe is currently extensively investigated as a nodal-line semimetal
with Dirac-like band crossings protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry close to the Fermi …

Ni-doped MoS2 has useful tribological, optoelectronic, and catalytic properties. Experiment
and theory on doped MoS2 have focused on monolayers or finite particles: theoretical …

Two-dimensional topological insulators (2DTIs) or quantum spin Hall insulators are
attracting increasing attention due to their potential applications in next-generation …

Here we report an ultrafast optical spectroscopic study of the nodal-line semimetal ZrSiTe.
Our measurements reveal that, converse to other compounds of the family, the sudden …

Topological nodal line semimetals (TNLSMs) represent a quantum state of topological
matter. When the crystal/time-reversal symmetry is broken, a nodal line state is expected to …

In the context of the extensive application prospect of two-dimensional (2D) chalcogenides,
we synthesized layered SnSe 2+ δ bulks with defects employing a hybrid chemical vapor …

Microstructure defects are the source of many interesting physical phenomena in materials.
The influence of microscopic imperfections are visible among a background of a crystalline …

Even as an increasing number of topological materials are predicted and experimentally
realized in an increasingly diverse array of structure types, there remains an underlying …
