Large-gap insulating dimer ground state in monolayer IrTe2

The interplay between reduced dimensionality and interactions in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides has been of great research interest. Here the authors report an insulating dimer ground state in 1T-IrTe2, driven by the combined effect of the charge density wave instability and local atomic...

description The interplay between reduced dimensionality and interactions in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides has been of great research interest. Here the authors report an insulating dimer ground state in 1T-IrTe2, driven by the combined effect of the charge density wave instability and local atomic bond formation.
