One-Dimensional van der Waals Quantum Materials -- State of the Art and Perspectives

Abstract

The advent of graphene and other two-dimensional van der Waals materials, with their unique electrical, optical, and thermal properties, has resulted in tremendous progress for fundamental science. Recent developments suggest that taking one more step down in dimensionality - from monolayer, atomic sheets to individual atomic chains - can bring exciting prospects as the ultimate limit in material downscaling is reached while establishing an entirely new field of one-dimensional quantum materials. Here we review this emerging area of one-dimensional van der Waals quantum materials and anticipate its future directions. We focus on quantum effects associated with the charge-density-wave condensate, strongly-correlated phenomena, topological phases, and other unique physical characteristics, which are attainable specifically in van der Waals materials of lower dimensionality. Possibilities for engineering the properties of quasi-one-dimensional materials via compositional changes, vacancies, and defects, as well as the prospects of their applications in composites are also discussed.
