Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) usually exist in two or more structural phases with different physical properties, and can be repeatedly switched between these phases via different stimuli, making them potentially…

We have examined the electronic structure evolution in transition metal dichalcogenides MX$_2$, where M=Mo,W and X=S,Se and Te. These are generally referred to as van der Waals heterostructures on the one hand, yet one has band gap changes…
The crystal structure of a material creates a periodic potential that electrons move through giving rise to the electronic band structure of the material. When two-dimensional materials are stacked, the twist angle between the layers…
