Either in bulk form, or when exfoliated into atomically thin crystals, layered transition metal dichalcogenides are continuously leading to the discovery of new phenomena. The latest example is provided by 1T'-WTe$_2$, a semimetal recently…
Transition metal dichalcogenides have received much attention in the past decade not only due to the new fundamental physics, but also due to the emergent applications in these materials. Currently chalcogenide deficiencies in TMDs are…
Electrical resistivity, magnetoresistivity, and the Hall effect have been studied in a topological semimetal WTe2 single crystal in the temperature range from 12 to 200 K under magnetic fields up to 9 T. It has been found that quadratic…
High quality single crystals of WTe$_2$ were grown using a Te flux followed by a cleaning step involving self-vapor transport. The method is reproducible and yields consistently higher quality single crystals than are typically obtained via…
We report a configuration strategy for improving the thermoelectric (TE) performance of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) WS2 based on the experimentally prepared WS2/WSe2 lateral superlattice (LS) crystal. On the…
A WTe2 single crystal was grown by the chemical vapor transport method, and its electrical resistivity and galvanomagnetic properties were investigated. Single-band and two-band models were used to estimate the concentration and mobility of…
We report on electronic transport measurements of electrostatically gated nano-devices of the semimetal WTe\textsubscript{2}. High mobility metallic behavior is achieved in the 2D limit by encapsulating thin flakes in an inert atmosphere.…

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDs) MoTe2 has attracted much attention due to its predicted Weyl semimetal (WSM) state and a quantum spin Hall insulator in bulk and monolayer form, respectively. We find that the…
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…

Elastoresistance describes the relative change of a material's resistance when strained. It has two major contributions: strain induced geometric and electronic changes. If the geometric factor dominates, like in ordinary metals such as…
We investigate transport through ionic liquid gated field effect transistors (FETs) based on exfoliated crystals of semiconducting WS$_2$. Upon electron accumulation, at surface densities close to -or just larger than- 10$^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$,…
In recent years, layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted considerable attention because of their rich physics; for example, these materials exhibit superconductivity, charge density waves, and the valley Hall effect.…

Magnetoresistance is the change of a material's electrical resistance in response to an applied magnetic field. In addition to its intrinsic scientific interest, it is a technologically important property, placing it in "Pasteur's quadrant"…
