Monolayer 1T-VSe2 has been reported as a room-temperature ferromagnet. In this work, by using first-principles calculations, we unveil that the ferromagnetism in monolayer 1T-VSe2 is originated from its intrinsic huge Stoner instability enhanced by the confinement effect, which can eliminate the interlayer coupling, and lead to a drastic increase of the density of states at the Fermi level due to the presence of Van Hove singularity. Our calculations also demonstrate that the Stoner instability is very sensitive to the interlayer distance. These results provide a useful route to modulate the nonmagnetic to ferromagnetic transition in few-layers or bulk 1T-VSe2, which also shed light on the enhancement of its Curie temperature by enlarging the interlayer distance.

Based on first-principles calculations, we predict that the monolayer AuTe2Cl is a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator with a topological band gap about 10 meV. The three-dimensional (3D) AuTe2Cl is a topological semimetal that can be viewed as the mon
olayer stacking along b axis. By studying the energy level distribution of p orbitals of Te atoms for the bulk and the monolayer, we find that the confinement effect driven p_y^- and p_z^+ band inversion is responsible for the topological nontrivial nature of monolayer. Since 3D bulk AuTe2Cl has already been experimentally synthesized, we expect that monolayer AuTe2Cl can be exfoliated from a bulk sample and the predicted QSH effect can be observed.
VSe2 is a transition metal dichaclogenide which has a charge-density wave transition that has been well studied. We report on a low-temperature upturn in the resistivity and, at temperatures below this resistivity minimum, an unusual magnetoresistanc
e which is negative at low fields and positive at higher fields, in single crystals of VSe2. The negative magnetoresistance has a parabolic dependence on the magnetic field and shows little angular dependence. The magnetoresistance at temperatures above the resistivity minimum is always positive. We interpret these results as signatures of the Kondo effect in VSe2. An upturn in the susceptibility indicates the presence of interlayer V ions which can provide the localized magnetic moments required for scattering the conduction electrons in the Kondo effect. The low-temperature behaviour of the heat capacity, including a high value of gamma, along with a deviation from a Curie-Weiss law observed in the low-temperature magnetic susceptibility, are consistent with the presence of magnetic interactions between the paramagnetic interlayer V ions and a Kondo screening of these V moments.
Using a micro particle imaging velocity technique, we resolve for the first time the three dimensionnal structure of wormlike shear banding flows in straight microchannels. The study revealed two effects, which should be generic for shear banding flo
ws: the first is a strong amplification of the confinement induced by the edge of the channel, the second is an instability of the interface between the shear bands. A detailed quantitative comparison of our experimental measurements with a theoretical study of the diffusive Johnson Segalman model leads to excellent agreement. Our study clarifies the nature of shear banding flow instabilities, and shows that, despite the challenging complexity of the situation and the uncertainty regarding their molecular structure, shear banding flows in confined geometries are amenable to quantitative modelling, a feature that opens pathways to their practical utilization.
A quantum spin hall insulator(QSHI) is manifested by its conducting edge channels that originate from the nontrivial topology of the insulating bulk states. Monolayer 1T-WTe2 exhibits this quantized edge conductance in transport measurements, but bec
ause of its semimetallic nature, the coherence length is restricted to around 100 nm. To overcome this restriction, we propose a strain engineering technique to tune the electronic structure, where either a compressive strain along a axis or a tensile strain along b axis can drive 1T-WTe2 into an full gap insulating phase. A combined study of molecular beam epitaxy and in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy then confirmed such a phase transition. Meanwhile, the topological edge states were found to be very robust in the presence of strain.
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides $MX_2$ ($M$ = Mo,W and $X$ = Te, Se, S) in 1T structure were predicted to be quantum spin Hall insulators based on first-principles calculations, which were quickly confirmed by multiple experimental groups.
For a better understanding of their properties, in particular their responses to external fields, we construct a realistic four-band tight-binding (TB) model by combining the symmetry analysis and first-principles calculations. Our TB model respects all the symmetries and can accurately reproduce the band structure in a large energy window from -0.3 eV to 0.8 eV. With the inclusion of spin-orbital coupling (SOC), our TB model can characterize the nontrivial topology and the corresponding edge states. Our TB model can also capture the anisotropic strain effects on the band structure and the strain-induced metal-insulator transition. Moreover, we found that although $MX_2$ share the same crystal structures and have the same crystal symmetries, while the orbital composition of states around the Fermi level are qualitatively different and their lower-energy properties cannot fully described by a single k $cdot$ p model. Thus, we construct two different types of k $cdot$ p model for $M$S$_2$,$M$Se$_2$ and $M$Te$_2$, respectively. Benefiting from the high accuracy and simplicity, our TB and k $cdot$ p models can serve as a solid and concrete starting point for future studies of transport, superconductivity, strong correlation effects and twistronics in 1T-transition metal dichalcogenides.
