Very recently, it has been shown that vanadium dichalcogenides (VX$_2$, X=S, Se and Te) monolayers show intrinsic ferromagnetism, and their critical temperatures are nearly to or beyond room temperature. Hence, they would have wide potential applications in next-generation nanoelectronic and spintronic devices. In this work, being inspired by a recent study we systematically perform Monte Carlo simulations based on single-site update Metropolis algorithm to investigate the hysteresis features of VX$_2$ monolayers for a wide range of temperatures up to 600 K. Our simulation results indicate that, both remanence and coercivity values tend to decrease with increasing temperature. Furthermore, it is found that hysteresis curves start to evolve from rectangular at the lower temperature regions to nearly S-shaped with increasing temperature.

First-principle calculations with different exchange-correlation functionals, including LDA, PBE and vdW-DF functional in form of optB88-vdW, have been performed to investigate the electronic and elastic properties of two dimensional transition metal
dichalcogenides(TMDCs) with the formula of MX$_2$(M=Mo,W; X=O,S,Se,Te) in both monolayer and bilayer structures. The calculated band structures show a direct band gap for monolayer TMDCs at the K point except for MoO$_2$ and WO$_2$. When the monolayers are stacked into bilayer, the reduced indirect band gaps are found except for bilayer WTe$_2$, in which direct gap is still present at the K point. The calculated in-plane Young moduli are comparable to graphene, which promises the possible application of TMDCs in future flexible and stretchable electronic devices. We also evaluated the performance of different functionals including LDA, PBE, and optB88-vdW in describing elastic moduli of TMDCs and found that LDA seems to be the most qualified method. Moreover, our calculations suggest that the Young moduli for bilayers are insensitive to stacking orders and the mechanical coupling between monolayers seems to be negligible.
Charge density wave (CDW) is a collective quantum phenomenon in metals and features a wave-like modulation of the conduction electron density. A microscopic understanding and experimental control of this many-body electronic state in atomically thin
materials remain hot topics in condensed matter physics. Here we report an interface and/or Zr intercalation induced semiconductor-metal phase transition, as well as a concomitant (2 $times$ 2) CDW order in 1T-ZrX$_2$ (X = Se, Te) thin films prepared on graphitized SiC(0001) substrates. Also observed has been a sizable CDW energy gap up to 22 meV opened at the Fermi level. Fourier-transformed scanning tunneling microscopy reveals a rather simple Fermi surface, consisting only of Zr 4d-derived conduction band at the corners of the Brillouin zone. Our finding that such a simple electronic structure is compatible with the CDW phase proves intriguing and challenges several prevailing scenarios for the formation of CDW in transition metal dichalcogenides.
Most of the 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) are nonmagnetic in pristine form. However, 2D pristine VX2 (X=S, Se, Te) materials are found to be ferromagnetic. Using spin polarized density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have studie
d the electronic, magnetic and surface properties of this class of materials in both trigonal prismatic 2H- and octahedral 1T-phase. Our calculations reveal that they exhibit materially different properties in those two polymorphs. Most importantly, detailed investigation of electronic structure explored the quantum size effect in 2H-phase of these materials thereby leading to metal to semimetal (2H-VS2) or semiconductor (2H-VSe2, 2H-VTe2) transition when downsizing from bilayer to corresponding monolayer.
Using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations we studied the low-energy electronic structure of bulk ZrTe$_2$. ARPES studies on ZrTe$_2$ demonstrate free charge carriers at the Fermi level, w
hich is further confirmed by the DFT calculations. An equal number of hole and electron carrier density estimated from the ARPES data, points ZrTe$_2$ to a semimetal. The DFT calculations further suggest a band inversion between Te $p$ and Zr $d$ states at the $Gamma$ point, hinting at the non-trivial band topology in ZrTe$_2$. Thus, our studies for the first time unambiguously demonstrate that ZrTe$_2$ is a topological semimetal. Also, a comparative band structure study is done on ZrSe$_2$ which shows a semiconducting nature of the electronic structure with an indirect band gap of 0.9 eV between $Gamma (A) $ and $M (L)$ high symmetry points. In the below we show that the metal-chalcogen bond-length plays a critical role in the electronic phase transition from semiconductor to a topological semimetal ingoing from ZrSe$_2$ to ZrTe$_2$.
Transition metal dichalcogenides are rich in their structural phases, e.g. 1T-TaS2 and 1T-TaSe2 form charge density wave (CDW) under low temperature with interesting and exotic properties. Here, we present a systematic study of different structures i
n two-dimensional TaX2 (X=S, Se, Te) using density functional theory calculations with consideration of van der Waals interaction. All the normal phases present metal characteristics with various ground state and magnetic properties. The lattice reconstruction of CDW drastically affects the electronic and structural characteristics of 1T-TaS2 and 1T-TaSe2, leading to a transition from metal to insulator and an emergence of magnetic moment within periodic atomic clusters called the Star of David. The evaluated Heisenberg couplings indicate the weak ferromagnetic coupling between the clusters in monolayer. Furthermore, in bilayer commensurate CDW cases, we find intriguing phenomenon of the varying magnetic properties with different stacking orders. The magnetic moment in each layer disappears when two layers are coupled, but may sustain in certain stackings of interlayer antiferromagnetic configurations.
