Van der Waals (vdW) layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) materials are emerging as one class of quantum materials holding novel optical and electronic properties. In particular, the bandgap tunability attractive for nanoelectronics technology have been observed up to 1.1 eV when applying dielectric screening or grain boundary engineering. Here we present the experimental observation of bandgap closing at the center of the screw dislocation-driven WS2 spiral pyramid by means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy, which is validated by first-principle calculations. The observed giant bandgap modulation is attributed to the presence of dangling bonds induced by the W-S broken and the enhanced localized stress in the core of the dislocation. Achieving this metallic state and the consequent vertical conducting channel presents a pathway to 3D-interconnected vdW heterostructure devices based on emergent semiconducting TMDCs.

Helimagnets realize an effective lamellar ordering that supports disclination and dislocation defects. Here, we investigate the micromagnetic structure of screw dislocation lines in cubic chiral magnets using analytical and numerical methods. The far
field of these dislocations is universal and classified by an integer strength $ u$ that characterizes the winding of magnetic moments. We demonstrate that a rich variety of dislocation-core structures can be realized even for the same strength $ u$. In particular, the magnetization at the core can be either smooth or singular. We present a specific example with $ u = 1$ for which the core is composed of a chain of singular Bloch points. In general, screw dislocations carry a non-integer but finite skyrmion charge so that they can be efficiently manipulated by spin currents.
Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) has a layered brucite-like structure in its bulk form and was recently isolated as a new member of 2D monolayer materials. We investigated the electronic and optical properties of monolayer crystals of Mg(OH)2 and WS2 an
d their possible heterobilayer structure by means of first principles calculations. It was found that both monolayers of Mg(OH)2 and WS 2 are direct-gap semiconductors and these two monolayers form a typical van der Waals heterostructure with a weak interlayer interaction and a type-II band alignment with a staggered gap that spatially seperates electrons and holes. We also showed that an out-of-plane electric field induces a transition from a staggered to a straddling type heterojunction. Moreover, by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation on top of single shot G0 W0 calculations, we show that the oscillator strength of the intralayer excitons of the heterostructure is an order of magnitude larger than the oscillator strength of the interlayer excitons. Because of the staggered interfacial gap and the field- tunable energy band structure, the Mg(OH)2 -WS2 heterobilayer can become an important candidate for various optoelectronic device applications in nanoscale.
The X-cube model, a prototypical gapped fracton model, has been shown to have a foliation structure. That is, inside the 3+1D model, there are hidden layers of 2+1D gapped topological states. A screw dislocation in a 3+1D lattice can often reveal non
trivial features associated with a layered structure. In this paper, we study the X-cube model on lattices with screw dislocations. In particular, we find that a screw dislocation results in a finite change in the logarithm of the ground state degeneracy of the model. Part of the change can be traced back to the effect of screw dislocations in a simple stack of 2+1D topological states, hence corroborating the foliation structure in the model. The other part of the change comes from the induced motion of fractons or sub-dimensional excitations along the dislocation, a feature absent in the stack of 2+1D layers.
Pinning interaction between a screw dislocation and a void in fcc copper is investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. A screw dislocation bows out to undergo depinning on the original glide plane at low temperatures, where the behavior
of the depinning stress is consistent with that obtained by a continuum model. If the temperature is higher than 300 K, the motion of a screw dislocation is no longer restricted to a single glide plane due to cross slip on the void surface. Several depinning mechanisms that involve multiple glide planes are found. In particular, a depinning mechanism that produces an intrinsic prismatic loop is found. We show that these complex depinning mechanisms significantly increase the depinning stress.
The gradient flow structure of the model introduced in [CG99] for the dynamics of screw dislocations is investigated by means of a generalised minimising-movements scheme approach. The assumption of a finite number of available glide directions, toge
ther with the maximal dissipation criterion that governs the equations of motion, results into solving a differential inclusion rather than an ODE. This paper addresses how the model in [CG99] is connected to a time-discrete evolution scheme which explicitly confines dislocations to move each time step along a single glide direction. It is proved that the time-continuous model in [CG99] is the limit of these time-discrete minimising-movement schemes when the time step converges to 0. The study presented here is a first step towards a generalisation of the setting in [AGS08, Chap. 2 and 3] that allows for dissipations which cannot be described by a metric.
