摘要:

单层过渡金属二硫属化物(TMDC)可以采用两种不同的结构,对应于不同的金属原子配位。采用T型结构的TMDC表现出丰富多样的一组现象,包括TaS $_2$和TaSe $_2$中的$\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$超晶胞图案中的电荷密度波(CDW),以及TiSe $_2$中可能的激子绝缘相。这些性质使得T-TMDC成为层状异质结构器件的理想组件。为了预测不同分层材料组合的涌现特性,需要简单而准确的组成层模型,该模型可以考虑晶格失配、弛豫、应变和结构变形的潜在影响。先前的研究已经开发了H型TMDC的从头算紧束缚哈密顿量[arXiv:1709.07510]。在这里,我们扩展这项工作,包括T型TMDC。我们证明了我们的模型使用三个示例系统的能力:1维正弦纹波,2 $\times$ 2 CDW在TiSe $_2$,和$\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ CDW在TaS $_2$。使用带展开的技术,我们比较的电子结构的扭曲的晶体的原始能带结构,并找到良好的协议与直接DFT计算,提供的扭曲的幅度保持在线性制度。

英文摘要:

Single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) can adopt two distinct structures corresponding to different coordination of the metal atoms. TMDCs adopting the T-type structure exhibit a rich and diverse set of phenomena, including charge density waves (CDW) in a $\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ supercell pattern in TaS$_2$ and TaSe$_2$, and a possible excitonic insulating phase in TiSe$_2$. These properties make the T-TMDCs desirable components of layered heterostructure devices. In order to predict the emergent properties of combinations of different layered materials, one needs simple and accurate models for the constituent layers which can take into account potential effects of lattice mismatch, relaxation, strain, and structural distortion. Previous studies have developed ab initio tight-binding Hamiltonians for H-type TMDCs [arXiv:1709.07510]. Here we extend this work to include T-type TMDCs. We demonstrate the capabilities of our model using three example systems: a 1-dimensional sinusoidal ripple, the 2$\times$2 CDW in TiSe$_2$, and the $\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$ CDW in TaS$_2$. Using the technique of band unfolding we compare the electronic structure of the distorted crystals to the pristine band structure and find excellent agreement with direct DFT calculations, provided the magnitude of the distortions remains in the linear regime.
