Homogeneous large-area graphene monolayers were successfully prepared ex situ on $6H$-SiC(0001). The samples have been studied systematically and the results are compared with those from a sample cut same wafer by in heating. formation of smaller flakes was found sample, which is line earlier observations. Distinctly different observed layers thicknesses, proposed as guideline for determining growth. Recorded $\text{C}\text{ }1s$ spectra consisted three components: bulk SiC, $(G)$, interface...
The long theorized two-dimensional allotrope of SiC has remained elusive amid the exploration graphenelike honeycomb structured monolayers. It is anticipated to possess a large direct band gap (2.5 eV), ambient stability, and chemical versatility. While sp^{2} bonding between silicon carbon energetically favorable, only disordered nanoflakes have been reported date. Here we demonstrate large-area, bottom-up synthesis monocrystalline, epitaxial monolayer atop ultrathin transition metal...
The discovery of van der Waals (vdW) magnets opened a new paradigm for condensed matter physics and spintronic technologies.

Metallic transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are benchmark systems for studying and controlling intertwined electronic orders in solids, with superconductivity developing from a charge-density wave state. The interplay between such phases is thought to play critical role the unconventional of cuprates, Fe-based heavy-fermion systems, yet even more moderately-correlated TMDCs, their nature origins have proved controversial. Here, we study prototypical example, 2H-NbSe2, by spin-...

The discovery of topological insulators (TIs), materials with bulk band gaps and protected cross-gap surface states, in compounds such as Bi2Se3 has generated much interest identifying states (TSSs) other classes materials. In particular, recent theory calculations suggest that TSSs may be found half-Heusler ternary compounds. If experimentally realizable, this would provide a platform for entirely new heterostructure spintronic devices make use the structurally-identical but...

Abstract Recently, a new magnetic phase called altermagnetism has been proposed, ushering in third distinct beyond ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. It is expected that this groundbreaking exhibits unique physical properties such as C-paired spin-valley locking, anomalous Hall effect, nontrivial Berry phase, giant magnetoresistance. Among all the predicted candidates, several room temperature altermagnets are suggested to host significant potential applications. Nevertheless, direct...
