Electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions are two major driving forces that stabilize various charge-ordered phases of matter. The intricate interplay between the two give rises to a peculiar charge density wave (CDW) state, which…
Combination of low-dimensionality and electron correlation is vital for exotic quantum phenomena such as the Mott-insulating phase and high-temperature superconductivity. Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) 1T-TaS2 has evoked great…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a class of widely studied 2D layered materials which exist in various polymorphs. The 1T' phase of MoTe2 is of prime importance as it has been reported to show quantum spin hall (QSH) behavior…
Around discontinuous (first-order) magnetic phase transitions the strong caloric response of materials to the application of small fields is widely studied for the development of solid-state refrigeration. Typically strong magnetostructural…
In topological insulators (TIs), metallic surface conductance saturates the insulating bulk resistance with de- creasing temperature, resulting in resistivity plateau at low temperatures as a transport signature originating from metallic…
