Surface-Reconstruction-Driven Insulating Behavior in Metallic Charge-Density-Wave 1T-TaSe
Sung-Hoon Lee, Doohee Cho
Bulk 1T-TaSe is metallic, yet its surface consistently exhibits an insulating gap -- a dichotomy long attributed to a surface Mott insulator driven by enhanced electron correla…

Crystal structure and collective oxygen transport in high-temperature TaO
Sung-Hoon Lee, Ki-Ha Hong
Ionic conduction in crystalline solids is conventionally understood to proceed via atomic-scale defects such as vacancies or interstitials. Here, by addressing the long-standing st…
