Doping tunable charge density waves in misfit layer compounds
Hugo Le Du, Ludovica Zullo, Justine Cordiez +14
The ability to tune charge density waves (CDWs) through external control knobs, such as doping, pressure or strain is crucial for exploring the phase diagram of two dimensional (2D…
Ultrafast magnetization induced by linearly polarized pulses is widespread in nonmagnetic semiconductors
Xiangzhou Zhu, Junfeng Qiao, Nicola Marzari +1
Ultrafast optical on-off switching of magnetic order promises near-petahertz information processing. Recently, it has been proposed that non-magnetic semiconductors with narrow ban…
Tuning the Charge Transfer of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides via Misfit Layer Compounds
Hugo Le Du, Ludovica Zullo, Justine Cordiez +16
Misfit layer compounds (MLCs) are a versatile platform for exploring the electronic phase diagram of two dimensional (2D) materials beyond the limits of conventional gating techniq…
Fermi surface geometry and momentum dependent electron-phonon coupling drive the charge density wave in quasi-1D ZrTe
Josu Diego, Matteo Calandra
ZrTe is a prototypical quasi-one-dimensional compound undergoing a charge density wave transition via a very sharp Kohn anomaly in phonon momentum space. While Fermi surface ge…
Antiferromagnetic stripe phase and large-gap insulating ground state of the correlated ~R30-Sn/Si(111) single atomic layer
Mohammadmehdi Torkzadeh, Mattia Iannetti, Mathieu Lizée +10
The one-third monolayer Sn layer on Si(111) has long been considered a benchmark system for exploring two-dimensional Mott physics, owing to its narrow bandwidth and sizable on-sit…
Robust spin splitting and fermiology in a layered altermagnet
Alessandro De Vita, Chiara Bigi, Davide Romanin +42
Altermagnetism defies conventional classifications of collinear magnetic phases, standing apart from ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism with its unique combination of spin-depen…
