摘要:

二维范德瓦尔斯材料的单层表现出不同于其体的新的电子相,由于对称性破缺和减少屏蔽的情况下的层间耦合。在这项工作中,我们结合角度分辨光电子能谱和扫描隧道显微镜/光谱,以证明出现了一个独特的绝缘2 × 1二聚体基态在单层1 T-IrTe 2,具有较大的带隙的金属双层到散装形式的这种材料。第一性原理计算表明,声子和电荷的不稳定性以及局部键的形成共同增强和稳定的电荷有序的基态。我们的研究结果为在没有强层间耦合的情况下发生的具有相似能量尺度的相互作用的微妙平衡提供了重要的见解,这为设计2D单层的特性提供了新的机会。

英文摘要:

Monolayers of two-dimensional van der Waals materials exhibit novel electronic phases distinct from their bulk due to the symmetry breaking and reduced screening in the absence of the interlayer coupling. In this work, we combine angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy to demonstrate the emergence of a unique insulating 2 x 1 dimer ground state in monolayer 1T-IrTe2 that has a large band gap in contrast to the metallic bilayer-to-bulk forms of this material. First-principles calculations reveal that phonon and charge instabilities as well as local bond formation collectively enhance and stabilize a charge-ordered ground state. Our findings provide important insights into the subtle balance of interactions having similar energy scales that occurs in the absence of strong interlayer coupling, which offers new opportunities to engineer the properties of 2D monolayers.
