Thermoelectricity of Tin Selenide Monolayers Across a Structural Phase Transition

John W. Villanova, Salvador Barraza-Lopez

SnSe monolayers experience a temperature induced two-dimensional Pnm2 P4/nmm structural transformation precipitated by the softening of vibrational modes. The standard theo…

Modulation Doping via a 2d Atomic Crystalline Acceptor

Yiping Wang, Jesse Balgley, Eli Gerber +21

Two-dimensional (2d) nano-electronics, plasmonics, and emergent phases require clean and local charge control, calling for layered, crystalline acceptors or donors. Our Raman, phot…

Thermal conductivity and enhanced thermoelectric performance of SnTe bilayer

Abhiyan Pandit, Raad Haleoot, Bothina Hamad

Tin chalcogenides (SnS, SnSe, and SnTe) are found to have improved thermoelectric properties upon the reduction of their dimensionality. Here we found the tilted AA + s stacked two…

Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Topological Semimetal Candidate NdSbTe

Krishna Pandey, Rabindra Basnet, Aaron Wegner +7

ZrSiS-type materials represent a large material family with unusual coexistence of topological nonsymmorphic Dirac fermions and nodal-line fermions. As a special group of ZrSiS-fam…

Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless Phase in Two-dimensional Ferroelectrics

Changsong Xu, Yousra Nahas, Sergei Prokhorenko +2

The celebrated Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) phase transition refers to a topological transition characterized, e.g., by the dissociation of vortex-antivortex pairs in two-…

Linear versus nonlinear electro-optic effects in materials

Zhijun Jiang, Charles Paillard, Hongjun Xiang +1

Two schemes are proposed to compute the nonlinear electro-optic (EO) tensor for the first time. In the first scheme, we compute the linear EO tensor of the structure under a finite…

Microscopic manipulation of ferroelectric domains in SnSe monolayers at room temperature

Kai Chang, Felix Küster, Brandon J. Miller +5

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals ferroelectrics provide an unprecedented architectural freedom for the creation of artificial multiferroics and non-volatile electronic devices ba…

Thermoelectric and lattice dynamics properties of layered MX (M = Sn, Pb; X = S, Te) compounds

Abhiyan Pandit, Bothina Hamad

Lead and tin chalcogenides have been studied widely due to their promising thermoelectric (TE) properties. Further enhancement in their TE efficiency has been reported upon the red…

Possible Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid State in 2D Materials with S=3/2

Changsong Xu, Junsheng Feng, Mitsuaki Kawamura +6

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) form an extremely unusual magnetic state in which the spins are highly correlated and fluctuate coherently down to the lowest temperatures, but without…

Indications for Lifshitz transitions in the nodal-line semimetal ZrSiTe induced by interlayer interaction

M. Krottenmüller, M. Vöst, N. Unglert +8

The layered material ZrSiTe is currently extensively investigated as a nodal-line semimetal with Dirac-like band crossings protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry close to the Fermi en…

Evidence for a magnetic-field induced ideal type-II Weyl state in antiferromagnetic topological insulator Mn(Bi1-xSbx)2Te4

Seng Huat Lee, David Graf, Yanglin Zhu +18

The discovery of Weyl semimetals (WSMs) has fueled tremendous interest in condensed matter physics. WSMs require breaking of either inversion symmetry (IS) or time-reversal symmetr…
