Through transport, compositional and structural studies, we review the features of the charge-density wave (CDW) conductor of NbS$_{3}$ (phase II). We highlight three central results: 1) In addition to the previously reported CDW…

The rare earth ($R$) tellurides $R_2$Te$_5$ have a crystal structure intermediate between that of $R$Te$_2$ and $R$Te$_3$, consisting of alternating single and double Te planes sandwiched between $R$Te block layers. We have successfully…

Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides 1T-TaS2-xSex (0<=x<=2) single crystals have been successfully fabricated by using a chemical vapor transport technique in which Ta locates in octahedral coordination with S and Se atoms. This is the…

In quasi-two-dimensional 1T-TaS2, a charge density wave (CDW) prototype, the transition occurs in two steps, from incommensurate (ICDW) and nearly commensurate (NCCDW) and from NCDW to commensurate (CCDW), locked in the resistivity…

To investigate the interplay between charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity, we performed ultralow-temperature spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy on the cleaved surface of the layered superconductor 2H-NbSe2. We…

We investigate the charge density wave (CDW) instability in single and double layers, as well as in the bulk 2H-NbSe$_{2}$. We demonstrate that the density functional theory correctly describes the metallic CDW state in the bulk…

4Hb-TaS$_2$ is a superconductor that exhibits unique characteristics such as time-reversal symmetry breaking, hidden magnetic memory, and topological edge modes. It is a naturally occurring heterostructure comprising of alternating layers…

This article reports a comparative study of bulk and surface properties in the transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS$_2$. When heating the sample, the surface displays an intermediate insulating phase that persists for $\sim 10$ K on top…

1T-TaS$_2$ is a prototypical charge-density-wave (CDW) system with a Mott insulating ground state. Usually, a Mott insulator is accompanied by an antiferromagnetic state. However, the antiferromagnetic order had never been observed in…

We investigate the low-temperature charge-density-wave (CDW) state of bulk TaS$_2$ with a fully self-consistent DFT+U approach, over which the controversy has remained unresolved regarding the out-of-plane metallic band. By examining the…

We report the $^{121/123}$Sb-NMR/nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on the newly-discovered superconductor BaTi$_2$Sb$_2$O with a two-dimensional Ti$_2$O square-net layer formed with Ti$^{3+}$ (3$d^1$). NQR measurements…

We have investigated a gap structure in a newly-discovered superconductor, MgB2 through the measurement of 11B nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, ^{11}(1/T_1). ^{11}(1/T_1) is proportional to the temperature (T) in the normal state, and…

Electronic flat bands serve as a unique platform to achieve strongly-correlated phases. The emergence of a flat band around the Fermi level in 1T-TaS$_2$ in accompany with the development of a $\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ charge density wave…

2$H$-TaSe$_2$ has been one of unique transition metal dichalcogenides exhibiting several phase transitions due to a delicate balance among competing electronic ground states. An unusual metallic state at high-$T$ is sequentially followed by…

Single crystals of NbGe$_{2}$ which crystallize in a noncentrosymmetric hexagonal structure with chirality are synthesized and their superconductivity is investigated. Type-I superconductivity is confirmed by dc magnetization, field-induced…

Electron correlation is a main driver of exotic quantum phases and their interplay. The 4Hb-TaS2 system, possessing intrinsic heterostructure of 1T- and 1H-TaS2 monolayers, offers a unique opportunity to control electron correlation by…

Using \emph{ab initio} band structure and DFT+dynamical mean-field theory methods we examine the effects of electron-electron interactions on the electronic structure, magnetic state, and structural phase stability of the recently…

Using temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy we address the question of how the transition from bulk to few atomic layers affects the charge density wave (CDW) phases in 1T-TaS2. We find that for crystals with thickness larger than approx…

Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), consisting of H-NbSe$_2$, H-NbS$_2$, H-TaSe$_2$ and H-TaS$_2$, remain superconducting down to a thickness of a single layer. In these materials, thickness affects a variety of properties,…
