Tantalum(IV) sulfide is an inorganic compound with the formula Ta S2. It is a layered compound with three-coordinate sulfide centres and trigonal prismatic or octahedral metal centres. [2] It is structurally similar to molybdenum disulfide MoS2, and numerous other transition metal dichalcogenides. Tantalum disulfide has three polymorphs 1T-TaS2, 2H-TaS2, and 3R-TaS2, representing trigonal, hexagonal, and rhombohedral respectively.

Contents

The properties of the 1T-TaS2 polytype have been described. [3] [4] [5]

CDW, the periodic distortion induced by the electron-phonon interaction, [6] is manifested by formation of a superlattice constituted by clusters of 13 atoms, which is called the Star of David (SOD), where the surrounding 12 Ta atoms move slightly towards the centre of the star. [7] there are three 1T-TaS2 charge density wave phases: commensurate charge density wave (CCDW), nearly commensurate charge density wave (NCCDW), and incommensurate charge density wave (ICCDW). In the CCDW phase, the entire material is covered with the superlattice, but in the ICCDW phase, the atoms do not move. NCCDW is the phase between the two as the SOD clusters are confined within the nearly hexagonal-shaped areas. The phase transition of 1T-TaS2 could be achieved via temperature difference, as it is one of the most investigated methods to achieve phase transition of the material. In common with many other transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) compounds, which are metallic at high temperatures, it exhibits a series of charge-density-wave (CDW) phase transitions from 550 K to 50 K. It is unusual amongst them in showing a low-temperature insulating state below 200 K, which is believed to arise from electron correlations, similar to many oxides. The insulating state is commonly attributed to a Mott state. [8] When cooling down to 550K, 1T-TaS2 transitions from metallic to ICCDW, then the material achieves NCCDW when cooling below 350K, and finally entering CCDW below 180K. However, if the temperature change is achieved by raising the temperature, another phase could appear between the CCDW phase and the NCCDW phase. The Triclinic Charge Density Wave (TCDW) is again the hybrid state between CCDW and ICCDW, the difference is that instead of forming an enclosed hexagon area, the material forms strips with different atom shifts. When 1T-TaS2 is heated at a lower temperature, the first transition is from CCDW to TCDW at 220K; Then, continue heating the material above 280K the phase of the material transits to NCCDW. [9] [10] It is also superconducting under pressure or upon doping, with a familiar dome-like phase diagram as a function of dopant, or substituted isovalent element concentration.

Metastability. 1T-TaS2 is unique, not only amongst TMDs but also amongst 'quantum materials' in general, in showing a metastable metallic state at low temperatures. [11] Switching from the insulating to the metallic state can be achieved either optically or by the application of electrical pulses. The metallic state is persistentbelow ~20K, but its lifetime can be tuned by changing the temperature. The metastable state lifetime can also be tuned by strain. The electrically-induced switching between states is of current interest, because it can be used for ultrafast energy-efficient memory devices. [12]

Because of the frustrated triangular arrangement of localized electrons, the material is suspected of supporting some form of quantum spin liquid state. It has been the subject of numerous studies as a host for intercalation of electron donors. [13]

Preparation

TaS2 is prepared by reaction of powdered tantalum and sulfur at ~900 °C. [15] It is purified and crystallized by chemical vapor transport using iodine as the transporting agent: [16]

TaS2 + 2 I2 TaI4 + 2 S

It can be easily cleaved and has a characteristic golden sheen. Upon extended exposure to air, the formation of an oxide layer causes darkening of the surface. Thin films can be prepared by chemical vapour deposition and molecular beam epitaxy.

Properties

Three major crystalline phases are known for TaS2: trigonal 1T with one S-Ta-S sheet per unit cell, hexagonal 2H with two S-Ta-S sheets, and rhombohedral 3R with three S-Ta-S sheets per cell; 4H and 6R phases are also observed, but less frequently. These polymorphs mostly differ by the relative arrangement of the S-Ta-S sheet rather than the sheet structure. [17]

2H-TaS2 is a superconductor with the bulk transition temperature TC = 0.5 K, which increases to 2.2 K in flakes with a thickness of a few atomic layers. [15] The bulk TC value increases up to ~8 K at 10 GPa and then saturates with increasing pressure. [18] In contrast, 1T-TaS2 starts superconducting only at ~2 GPa; as a function of pressure its TC quickly rises up to 5 K at ~4 GPa and then saturates. [8]

At ambient pressure and low temperatures 1T-TaS2 is a Mott insulator. [8] Upon heating it changes to a Triclinic charge density wave (TCDW) state at TTCDW ~ 220 K, [19] [20] [21] to a nearly commensurate charge density wave (NCCDW) state at TNCCDW ~ 280 K, [2] to an incommensurate CDW (ICCDW) state at TICCDW ~ 350 K, [2] and to a metallic state at TM ~ 600 K. [14]

In the CDW state the TaS2 lattice deforms to create a periodic Star of David pattern. Application of (e.g. 50fs) optical laser pulses [11] or voltage pulses (~2–3 V) through electrodes [22] or in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to the CDW state causes it to drop electrical resistance and creates a "mosaic" or domain state consisting of nanometer-sized domains, where both the domains and their walls exhibit metallic conductivity. This mosaic structure is metastable and gradually disappears upon heating. [16] [23] [22]

Memory devices and other potential applications

Switching of the material to and from the "mosaic", or domain state, by optical or electrical pulses is used for "Charge configuration memory" (CCM) devices. The distinguishing feature of such devices is that they exhibit very efficient and fast non-thermal resistance switching at low temperatures. [12] Room temperature operation of a charge-density-wave oscillator and thermally-driven GHz modulation of the CDW state has been demonstrated. [24] [25]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Spin density wave</span>

Spin-density wave (SDW) and charge-density wave (CDW) are names for two similar low-energy ordered states of solids. Both these states occur at low temperature in anisotropic, low-dimensional materials or in metals that have high densities of states at the Fermi level . Other low-temperature ground states that occur in such materials are superconductivity, ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. The transition to the ordered states is driven by the condensation energy which is approximately where is the magnitude of the energy gap opened by the transition.

In crystallography, polymorphism describes the phenomenon where a compound or element can crystallize into more than one crystal structure. The preceding definition has evolved over many years and is still under discussion today. Discussion of the defining characteristics of polymorphism involves distinguishing among types of transitions and structural changes occurring in polymorphism versus those in other phenomena.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Wigner crystal</span>

A Wigner crystal is the solid (crystalline) phase of electrons first predicted by Eugene Wigner in 1934. A gas of electrons moving in a uniform, inert, neutralizing background will crystallize and form a lattice if the electron density is less than a critical value. This is because the potential energy dominates the kinetic energy at low densities, so the detailed spatial arrangement of the electrons becomes important. To minimize the potential energy, the electrons form a bcc lattice in 3D, a triangular lattice in 2D and an evenly spaced lattice in 1D. Most experimentally observed Wigner clusters exist due to the presence of the external confinement, i.e. external potential trap. As a consequence, deviations from the b.c.c or triangular lattice are observed. A crystalline state of the 2D electron gas can also be realized by applying a sufficiently strong magnetic field. However, it is still not clear whether it is the Wigner crystallization that has led to observation of insulating behaviour in magnetotransport measurements on 2D electron systems, since other candidates are present, such as Anderson localization.

1T may refer to:

A charge density wave (CDW) is an ordered quantum fluid of electrons in a linear chain compound or layered crystal. The electrons within a CDW form a standing wave pattern and sometimes collectively carry an electric current. The electrons in such a CDW, like those in a superconductor, can flow through a linear chain compound en masse, in a highly correlated fashion. Unlike a superconductor, however, the electric CDW current often flows in a jerky fashion, much like water dripping from a faucet due to its electrostatic properties. In a CDW, the combined effects of pinning and electrostatic interactions likely play critical roles in the CDW current's jerky behavior, as discussed in sections 4 & 5 below.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers</span> Thin semiconductors

Transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD or TMDC) monolayers are atomically thin semiconductors of the type MX2, with M a transition-metal atom (Mo, W, etc.) and X a chalcogen atom (S, Se, or Te). One layer of M atoms is sandwiched between two layers of X atoms. They are part of the large family of so-called 2D materials, named so to emphasize their extraordinary thinness. For example, a MoS2 monolayer is only 6.5 Å thick. The key feature of these materials is the interaction of large atoms in the 2D structure as compared with first-row transition-metal dichalcogenides, e.g., WTe2 exhibits anomalous giant magnetoresistance and superconductivity.

In materials science, the term single-layer materials or 2D materials refers to crystalline solids consisting of a single layer of atoms. These materials are promising for some applications but remain the focus of research. Single-layer materials derived from single elements generally carry the -ene suffix in their names, e.g. graphene. Single-layer materials that are compounds of two or more elements have -ane or -ide suffixes. 2D materials can generally be categorized as either 2D allotropes of various elements or as compounds.
