ABSTRACT
Monolayers of two-dimensional van der Waals materials exhibit novel electronic phases distinct from their bulk due to the symmetry breaking and reduced screening in absence interlayer coupling. In this work, we combine angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy demonstrate emergence a unique insulating 2 × 1 dimer ground state monolayer 1T-IrTe2 that has large band gap contrast metallic bilayer-to-bulk forms material. First-principles calculations reveal phonon charge instabilities as well local bond formation collectively enhance stabilize charge-ordered state. Our findings provide important insights into subtle balance interactions having similar energy scales occurs strong coupling, which offers new opportunities engineer properties 2D monolayers.
