Title: Charge density waves in the 2.5-dimensional quantum heterostructure

Journal Article · · Physical Review. B

Charge density wave (CDW) and their interplay with correlated and topological quantum states are at the forefront of condensed matter research. The 4Hb-TaS2 is a CDW ordered quantum heterostructure that is formed by alternative stacking of Mott insulating 1T-TaS2 and Ising superconducting 1H-TaS2. While the $$\sqrt{13}$$ ×$$\sqrt{13}$$ and 3 × 3 CDWs have been respectively observed in the bulk 1T-TaS2 and 2H-TaS2, the CDWs and their pivotal role for unconventional superconductivity in the 4⁢Hb-TaS2 remain unsolved. In this Letter, we reveal the two-dimensional (2D) $$\sqrt{13}$$ ×$$\sqrt{13}$$ chiral CDW in the 1T layers and intraunit cell coupled 2D 2 × 2 CDW in the 1H and 1H' layers of 4⁢Hb-TaS2. Here, our results establish 4⁢Hb-TaS2 a 2.5D quantum heterostructure, where 2D quantum states emerge from 3D crystalline structure.
