Local interface effects modulate global charge order and optical properties of 1T-TaS$_2$/1H-WSe$_2$ heterostructures

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Kwabena Bediako| Summary:1T-TaS$_2$ is a layered charge density wave (CDW) crystal exhibiting sharp phase transitions and associated resistance changes. These resistance steps could be exploited for information storage, underscoring the importance of controlling and tuning CDW states. Given the importance of out-of-plane interactions in 1T-TaS$_2$, modulating interlayer interactions by heterostructuring is a promising […]

Revisiting the Proper Motions of M31 and M33 Using Massive Supergiant Stars with Gaia DR3

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | Summary:The proper motions (PMs) of M31 and M33 are key to understanding the Local Group’s dynamical evolution. However, measurement discrepancies between Gaia blue and red samples, regarding whether the transverse velocity is remarkable, introduce significant ambiguity. In this work, we remeasure the systemic PMs of M31 and M33 using massive […]
