Zoology of domain walls in quasi-2D correlated charge density wave of 1T-TaS2

Abstract Domain walls in correlated charge density wave compounds such as 1T-TaS2 can have distinct localized states which govern physical properties and functionalities of emerging quantum phases. However, detailed atomic and electronic structures of domain walls have largely been elusive. We ident...

description Abstract Domain walls in correlated charge density wave compounds such as 1T-TaS2 can have distinct localized states which govern physical properties and functionalities of emerging quantum phases.

The domain walls exhibit various in-gap states within the Mott gap but metallic states appear in only particular types of domain walls.
