Properties of layer-type transition-metal dichalcogenides are examined. Discussions are
included on structure and optical properties, band scheme for MoS/sub 2/, supporting …

The nonrelativistic augmented-plane-wave (APW) method is applied to calculate the
electronic band structures of several transition-metal-dichalcogenide (TX 2) layer …

I hope this book will be useful to at least two groups of individuals: the nonspecialist reader
with a general knowledge of solid-state science and seeking an introduction to the theory …

Superconductivity in so-called unconventional superconductors is nearly always found in
the vicinity of another ordered state, such as antiferromagnetism, charge density wave …

The electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of layered compounds of dichalcogenides of
transition metals and intercalated crystals are considered. Particular attention is paid to the …

Neutron-scattering studies of 2 H-Nb Se 2 and 2 H-Ta Se 2 reveal the strong Kohn
anomalies and incommensurate superlattice characteristic of charge-density-wave …

Detailed measurements of the resistivity and the Hall coefficient have been made on high-
quality single crystals of 2 H metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides between 4.2 K and …

This monograph is intended to give the reader an appreciation of the wealth of phases,
elements and inorganic compounds, which crystallize in layer-type or two dimensional …

During the last decade, considerable effort has been directed towards understanding the
chemistry and physics of transition metal chalcogenides. As a result of these investigations …

We report the direct observation in real space of the charge density wave (CDW) phase
transition in pristine 2 H-NbSe 2 using atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy. We …
