We study the effect of inhomogeneous strain on transition-metal dichalcogenides with a large intrinsic gap in their spectrum. It is found that, by tuning the chemical potential, superconductivity can preserve within the strain-induced discrete pseudo Landau levels (LLs), which introduce interesting topological properties to these systems. As we show, the superconductivity for integer fillings is quantum critical, and the quantum critical coupling strength is determined by the spacing between the two LLs closest to the Fermi level. For partial fillings, the superconducting gap is scaled linearly with the coupling strength, and decreases rapidly when the chemical potential shifts away from the middle of each LL. In the presence of a Zeeman field, a pair of Majorana modes emerge simultaneously in the two valleys of strained dichalcogenides. When valley symmetry is further destroyed, a single Majorana mode can be expected to emerge at the edges of the strained monolayer dichalcogenides.
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have a remarkable excitonic landscape with deeply bound bright and dark exciton states. Their properties are strongly affected by lattice distortions that can be created in a controlled way via st
Majorana fermions, quantum particles with non-Abelian exchange statistics, are not only of fundamental importance, but also building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum computation. Although certain experimental breakthroughs for observing Majorana fer
Strain engineering in single-layer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides aims to tune their bandgap energy and to modify their optoelectronic properties by the application of external strain. In this paper we study transition metal dichalco
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are interesting materials in part because of their strong spin-orbit coupling. This leads to intrinsic spin-splitting of opposite signs in opposite valleys, so the valleys are intrinsically spin-polari
Excitons dominate the optical properties of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Besides optically accessible bright exciton states, TMDs exhibit also a multitude of optically forbidden dark excitons. Here, we show that efficient excito
