Abstract The behaviour of electrons and holes in a crystal lattice is a fundamental quantum phenomenon, accounting for a rich variety of material properties. Boosted by the remarkable electronic and physical properties of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and topological insulators, transition metal dichalcogenides have recently received renewed attention. In this context, the anomalous bulk properties of semimetallic WTe2 have attracted considerable interest. Here we report angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of WTe2 single crystals, through which we disentangle the role of W and Te atoms in the formation of the band structure and identify the interplay of charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Supported by first-principles calculations and high-resolution surface topography, we reveal the existence of a layer-dependent behaviour. The balance of electron and hole states is found only when considering at least three Te–W–Te layers, showing that the behaviour of WTe2 is not strictly two dimensional.

The application of 2D materials in catalysis has great potential, opportunities, and challenges. The dual roles (catalysts and supports) of 2D materials determine different strategies for rational design of 2D-based catalysts.

AbstractMany recent experiments investigated potential and attractive means of modifying many-body interactions in two-dimensional materials through time-resolved spectroscopy techniques. However, the role of ultrafast phonon-assisted processes in two-dimensional systems is rarely discussed in depth. Here, we investigate the role of electron–phonon interaction in the transient optical absorption of graphene by means of first-principles methods. It is shown at equilibrium that the phonon-assisted transitions renormalize significantly the electronic structure. As a result, absorption peak around the Van-Hove singularity broadens and redshifts by ~100 meV. In addition, temperature increase and chemical doping are shown to notably enhance these phonon-assisted features. In the photoinduced transient response, we obtain spectral changes in close agreement with the experiments, and we associate them to the strong renormalization of occupied and unoccupied $$\pi$$π bands, which predominantly comes from the coupling with the zone-center $${E}_{2g}$$E2g optical phonon. Our estimation of the Coulomb interaction effects shows that the phonon-assisted processes can have a dominant role even in the subpicosecond regime.
