We combine infrared absorption and Raman scattering spectroscopies to explore the properties of the heavy transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-HfS$_2$. We employ the LO-TO splitting of the $E_u$ vibrational mode along with a reevaluation of…
One-dimensional grain boundaries of two-dimensional semiconducting {\MX} (M= Mo,W; X=S,Se) transition metal di-chalcogenides are typically metallic at room temperature. The metallicity has its origin in the lattice polarization, which for…
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can withstand a large deformation without fracture or inelastic relaxation, making them attractive for application in novel strain-engineered and flexible…
The strong electron-electron interaction in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) gives rise to phenomena such as strong exciton and trion binding and excitonic condensation, as well as large negative exchange and correlation…
Competing orders in condensed matter give rise to the emergence of fascinating, new phenomena. Here, we investigate the competition between superconductivity and charge density wave in the context of layered-metallic compounds, transition…
Interest in the bulk transition metal dichalcogenides for their electronic, photovoltaic, and optical properties has grown and led to their use in many technological applications. We present a systematic investigation of their interlinked…
The Fe intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), Fe$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$, exhibits remarkable resistance switching properties and highly tunable spin ordering phases due to magnetic defects. We conduct synchrotron X-ray scattering…
The strange metallic regime across a number of high-temperature superconducting materials presents numerous challenges to the classic theory of Fermi liquid metals. Recent measurements of the dynamical charge response of strange metals,…
Successful doping of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) remains a formidable barrier to their incorporation into a range of technologies. We use density functional theory to study doping of molybdenum and tungsten…
The fundamental idea that the constituents of interacting many body systems in complex quantum materials may self-organise into long range order under highly non-equilibrium conditions leads to the notion that entirely new and unexpected…
We theoretically study the role of the Berry curvature on neutral and charged excitons in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides. The Berry curvature arises due to a strong coupling between the conduction and valence bands in…
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides MoTe$_2$ and WTe$_2$ share almost similar lattice constants as well as topological electronic properties except their structural phase transitions. While the former shows a first-order phase…
Transition metal dichalcogenides exhibit rich phase diagrams dominated by the interplay of superconductivity and charge density waves, which often result in anomalies in the electric transport properties. Here, we employ the ionic gating…
We perform density functional theory calculation to investigate the structural and electronic properties of various two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, MX$_2$ (M$=$Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, or W, and X$=$S or Se), and…
Based on recent first-principles computations in perovskite compounds, especially BaTiO3, we examine the significance of the Born effective charge concept and contrast it with other atomic charge definitions, either static (Mulliken,…
The interplay of Ising spin-orbit coupling and non-trivial band topology in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) produces anomalous transport and optical properties that are very different from a regular 2D electron gas. The…
We calculate analytically the charge density $\rho_{\text{ind}}(\boldsymbol{r})$ at small distances induced by a Coulomb impurity in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides. The calculations were performed exactly in the coupling…
The transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS2 attract growing attention because of the formation of rich density-wave (DW) and superconducting transitions. However, the origin of the incommensurate DW state at the highest temperature (~ 550…
A normal metal exhibits a valence plasmon, which is a sound wave in its conduction electron density. The mysterious strange metal is characterized by non-Boltzmann transport and violates most fundamental Fermi liquid scaling laws. A…
In this paper I discuss the electronic structure and properties of a specific, rather unconventional class of transition metal (TM) compounds, e.g. TM oxides, which formally have unusually high values of the oxidation state, or valence, of…
