Ferroelectricity and metallicity cannot coexist due to the screening effect of conducting electrons, and a large number of stable monolayers with 1T/1T$^{\prime}$ phase lack spontaneous polarization due to inversion symmetry. In this work,…
The transition metal dichalcogenide PdTe$_2$ was recently shown to be a unique system where a type II Dirac semimetallic phase and a superconducting phase co-exist. This observation has led to wide speculation on the possibility of the…
Platinum diselenide (PtSe${_2}$) is a two-dimensional (2D) material with outstanding electronic and piezoresistive properties. The material can be grown at low temperatures in a scalable manner which makes it extremely appealing for many…
Doping via electrostatic gating is a powerful and widely used technique to tune the electron densities in layered materials. The microscopic details of how these setups affect the layered material are, however, subtle and call for careful…
With advances in exfoliation and synthetic techniques, atomically thin films of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides have recently been isolated and characterized. Their two-dimensional structure, coupled with a direct band gap…
MoTe2 is a rare transition-metal ditelluride having two kinds of layered polytypes, hexagonal structure with trigonal prismatic Mo coordination and monoclinic structure with octahedral Mo coordination. The monoclinic distortion in the…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exist in various crystal structures with semiconducting, semi-metallic, and metallic properties. The dynamic control of these phases is of immediate interest for next generation electronics such as…
The last few decades has seen the rapid growth of interest in the bulk perovskite-type transition metal oxides SrVO$_3$ and SrTiO$_3$. The electronic configuration of these perovskites differs by one electron associated to the transition…

Tantalum ditelluride TaTe$_2$ belongs to the family of layered transition metal dichalcogenides but exhibits a unique structural phase transition at around 170 K that accompanies the rearrangement of the Ta atomic network from a "ribbon…
Compounds with a tetragonal ThCr$_{2}$Si$_{2}$-type structure are characterized by the possibility of the isostructural phase transition from the tetragonal phase to the collapsed tetragonal phase induced by the external pressure. An…
Application of a significantly large bias voltage to small Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x mesa structures leads to persistent doping of the mesas. Here we employ this effect for analysis of the doping dependence of the electronic spectra of Bi-2212 single…

We report synthesis of under doped non-superconducting parent compound of iron chalcogenide, i.e FeTe1-xSex (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05) single crystals by flux free method. These FeTe1-xSex (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05) single crystals are…
It has been argued that the very high transition temperatures of the highest Tc cuprate superconductors are facilitated by enhanced CuO2 plane coupling through the (Bi,Tl,Hg)-O intermediary layers. Whether enhanced coupling through…
Coupled structural and electronic phase transitions underlie the multifunctional properties of strongly-correlated materials. For example, colossal magnetoresistance1,2 in manganites involves phase transition from paramagnetic insulator to…
