Recent Advances in Weyl Semimetal ( MnBi2Se4) and Axion Insulator (MnBi2Te4)

March 25, 2022
Author(s)
Sugata Chowdhury, Kevin Garrity, Francesca Tavazza
Extensive research is currently focused on 2D and 3D magnetic topological insulators (MTIs), as their many novel properties make them excellent candidates for applications in spintronics and quantum computing. Practical MTIs requires a combination of

Influence of Dimensionality on the Charge Density Wave Phase of 2H-TaSe2

March 23, 2022
Author(s)
Sugata Chowdhury, Albert Rigosi, Heather Hill, David B. Newell, Angela R. Hight Walker, Francesca Tavazza, Andrew Briggs
Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides like tantalum diselenide (TaSe2) exhibit exciting behaviors at low temperatures including the emergence of charge density wave (CDW) states. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to classify the

Topological surface states of MnBi2Te4 at finite temperatures and at domain walls

February 24, 2021
Author(s)
Kevin F. Garrity, Sugata Chowdhury, Francesca Tavazza
MnBi2Te4 has recently been the subject of intensive study, due to the prediction of axion insulator, Weyl semimetal, and quantum anomalous Hall insulator phases, depending on the structure and magnetic ordering. Experimental results have con firmed some

Short-Range Charge Density Wave Order in TaS2

June 25, 2019
Author(s)
Jaydeep D. Joshi, Heather M. Hill, Sugata Chowdhury, Christos D. Malliakas, Francesca M. Tavazza, Utpal Chatterjee, Angela R. Hight Walker, Patrick M. Vora
2H-TaS2 undergoes a charge density wave (CDW) transition at T_CDW ~ 75 K, however key questions regarding the onset of CDW order remain under debate. In this study, we explore the CDW transition through a combination of temperature and excitation-dependent

Computational screening of high-performance optoelectronic materials using OptB88vdW and TB-mBJ formalisms

May 8, 2018
Author(s)
Kamal Choudhary, Qin Zhang, Sugata Chowdhury, Nhan V. Nguyen, Zachary T. Trautt, Marcus W. Newrock, Faical Y. Congo, Andrew C. Reid, Francesca M. Tavazza
We perform high-throughput density functional theory (DFT) calculations for optoelectronic properties (electronic bandgap and frequency dependent dielectric function) using the OptB88vdW functional (OPT) and the Tran-Blaha modified Becke Johnson potential

Probing the dielectric response of the interfacial buffer layer in epitaxial graphene via optical spectroscopy

November 28, 2017
Author(s)
Heather M. Hill, Albert Rigosi, Sugata Chowdhury, Yanfei Yang, Nhan Van Nguyen, Francesca Tavazza, Randolph Elmquist, David B. Newell, Angela R. Hight Walker
Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is a suitable candidate for a variety of electronic applications. One advantage of EG growth on the Si face of SiC is that it develops as a single crystal, as does the layer below, referred to as the interfacial buffer

Elucidating the Structural and Electronic Properties of Solution-Synthesized 2D SnS Crystals

March 28, 2017
Author(s)
Adam J. Biacchi, Brian G. Alberding, Son T. Le, Joseph A. Hagmann, Sugata Chowdhury, Curt A. Richter, Edwin J. Heilweil, Angela R. Hight Walker
The vast majority of nanoscale 2D materials are synthesized by exfoliation or gas phase deposition techniques. Alternatively, bottom-up colloidal solution syntheses offer a scalable and cost-efficient means of producing 2D nanomaterials in high yield
