Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT), an experimental and theoretical study of changes in the electronic structure (dispersion dependencies) and corresponding modification of the energy…
We study the electronic structure of bulk 1T-TaSe$_2$ in the charge density wave phase at low temperature. Our spatially and angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) data show insulating areas coexisting with metallic regions characterized by a…

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,…
An important step in understanding the exotic electronic, vibrational, and optical properties of the moir\'{e} lattices is the inclusion of the effects of structural relaxation of the un-relaxed moir\'{e} lattices. Here, we propose novel…
In 2016, bulk tellurium was experimentally observed as a remarkable thermoelectric material. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) tellurium, called tellurene, has been synthesized and has exhibited unexpected electronic properties compared with…
Atomically thin transitional metal ditellurides like WTe2 and MoTe2 have triggered tremendous research interests because of their intrinsic nontrivial band structure. They are also predicted to be 2D topological insulators and type-II Weyl…
The field of two-dimensional (2D) materials has expanded to multilayered systems where electronic, optical, and mechanical properties change-often dramatically-with stacking order, thickness, twist, and interlayer spacing [1-5]. For…
Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have emerged as materials that can be used to realize two-dimensional (2D) crystals possessing rather unique transport and optical properties. Most research has so far focused on sulfur…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) represent an entire new class of semiconducting 2D materials with exciting properties. Defects in 2D TMDs can crucially affect their physical and chemical properties. However, characterization of the…
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the $1T$ polymorph are subject to a rich variety of periodic lattice distortions, often referred to as charge density waves (CDW) when not too strong. We study from first principles the fermiology…
Topologically ordered phases of matter, in particular so-called symmetry enriched topological (SET) phases, can exhibit quantum number fractionalization in the presence of global symmetry. In Z_2 topologically ordered states in two…
Cross-plane thermal conductivity in homogeneous transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibits a strong dependence on twist angle, originating from atomic reconstruction within moir\'e superlattices. This reconstruction redistributes…
Ferroelectric materials play a crucial role in a broad range of technologies due to their unique properties that are deeply connected to the pattern and behavior of their ferroelectric (FE) domains. Chief among them, barium titanate…
