Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are commonly classified as quasi-two-dimensional materials, meaning that their electronic structure closely resembles that of an individual layer, which results in resistivity anisotropies…
Motivated by interesting recent experimental results, we consider theoretically charged-impurity scattering-limited 2D electronic transport in (100), (110), and (111)-Si inversion layers at low temperatures and carrier densities, where…
It is well established that for non-interacting electrons, increasing disorder drives a metal into a gapless localized Anderson insulator. While in three dimensions a threshold in disorder must be crossed for the transition, in two…
Recent thermodynamic measurements on two-dimensional (2D) electron systems have found diverging behavior in the magnetic susceptibility and appearance of ferromagnetism with decreasing electron density. The critical densities for these…
The electronic properties of disordered systems at the Anderson metal-insulator transition (MIT) have been the subject of intense study for several decades. Thermoelectric properties at the MIT, such as thermopower and thermal conductivity,…
By analyzing the temperature ($T$) and density ($n$) dependence of the measured conductivity ($\sigma$) of 2D electrons in the low density ($\sim10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$) and temperature (0.02 - 10 K) regime of high-mobility (1.0 and 1.5 $\times…
In a recent experiment, Siegrist et al. [Nature Materials 10, 202 (2011)] investigated the metal-insulator transition (MIT) of GeSb_2Te_4 on increasing annealing temperature. The authors conclude that this material exhibits a discontinuous…
Monolayers (MLs) of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit unusual electrical behavior under magnetic fields due to their intrinsic spin-orbit coupling and lack of inversion symmetry. While recent experiments have also identified…
Coulomb interaction between electrons lies at the heart of magnetism in solids. In contrast to conventional two-dimensional (2D) systems, electrons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess coupled spin and valley degrees…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide an attractive platform for studying strain dependent exciton transport at room temperature due to large exciton binding energy and strong bandgap sensitivity to mechanical…

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides in the distorted octahedral 1T$^\prime$ phase exhibit a large bulk bandgap and gapless boundary states, which is an asset in the ongoing quest for topological electronics. In single-layer tungsten…
The combination of high-quality Al2O3 dielectric and thiol chemistry passivation can effectively reduce the density of interface traps and Coulomb impurities of WS2, leading to a significant improvement of the mobility and a transition of…
Understanding the dynamical evolution of large-scale moir\'e systems is crucial for connecting theoretical predictions with experimental observations. Here we develop a machine-learning-based workflow, integrating DeePMD and DeepH…
We present a comprehensive dynamical mean field study of the triangular lattice moir\'e Hubbard model, which is believed to represent the physics of moir\'e bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides. In these materials, important aspects of…
MoTe$_2$ is an exfoliable transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) which crystallizes in three symmetries, the semiconducting trigonal-prismatic $2H-$phase, the semimetallic $1T^{\prime}$ monoclinic phase, and the semimetallic orthorhombic…
(abridged) We present results of the disorder-induced metal-insulator-transition (MIT) in three-dimensional amorphous indium-oxide films. The amorphous version studied here differs from the one reported earlier [PRB 46, 10917 (1992)] in…
Here, we describe synthesis of TMD crystals using a two-step flux growth method that eliminates a major potential source of contamination. Detailed characterization of TMDs grown by this two-step method reveals charged and isovalent defects…
We study experimentally and theoretically the effects of disorder, nonlinear screening, and magnetism in semiconductor heterostructures containing a $\delta$-layer of Mn, where the charge carriers are confined within a quantum well and…
The discovery of a metallic state and a metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems challenges one of the most influential paradigms of modern mesoscopic physics, namely, that "there is no true metallic…
