Nanowerk  November 1, 2022 Recent years witnessed a rebirth of the field of CDW materials and devices, partially driven by an interest in layered quasi-2D van der Waals materials where CDW phases can manifest themselves at room temperature. Despite numerous attempts, the electrical gating of the CDW phase, which is needed for many practical applications, remained elusive. An international team of researchers (USA – UC Riverside, University of Georgia, Poland) has demonstrated the electrical gating of the charge-density-wave phases and current in h-BN-capped three-terminal 1T-TaS2 heterostructure devices. The evolution of the hysteresis and the presence of abrupt spikes in the […]
