We investigate the chemical bonding characteristics of the transition metal dichalcogenides based on their static and dynamical atomic charges within Density Functional Theory. The dynamical charges of the trigonal transition metal…
The Born effective charge tensors of Barium Titanate have been calculated for each of its 4 phases. Large effective charges of Ti and O, also predicted by shell model calculations and made plausible by a simplified model, reflect the…
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…
Electronic structure and lattice dynamics calculations on thallium halides show that the Born effective charges in these compounds are more than twice larger than the nominal ionic charges. This is a result of cross-band-gap hybridization…
The $\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ charge density wave state of the T polytype of MX$_2$ (M=Nb,Ta, X=S, Se) is known to host a half-filled flat band, which electronic correlations drive into a Mott insulating state. When T polytypes are coupled…

The transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS$_2$ is well known to harbor a rich variety of charge density wave (CDW) distortions which are correlated with underlying lattice atom modulations. The long range CDW phases extend throughout the…
Interactions mediated by electron-phonon coupling are responsible for important cooperative phenomena in metals such as superconductivity and charge-density waves. The same interaction mechanisms produce strong collision rates in the normal…
Controlling and understanding electron correlations in quantum matter is one of the most challenging tasks in materials engineering. In the past years a plethora of new puzzling correlated states have been found by carefully stacking and…
We present a comprehensive first-principles investigation of defects in 4$H_b$-TaS$_2$. In this layered transition metal dichalcogenide, charge transfer between alternating Mott-insulating 1T and metallic 1H layers gives rise to exotic…
It was recently discovered that in spite of the scalar nature of its order parameter, the charge order in 1T-TiSe2 can be chiral. This is made possible by the emergence of orbital order in conjunction with the charge density modulations.…
Strong electron-electron interaction can induce Mott insulating state, which is believed to host unusual correlated phenomena such as quantum spin liquid when quantum fluctuation dominates and unconventional superconductivity through…
