The emergence of correlated phenomena arising from the combination of 1T and 1H van der Waals layers is the focus of intense research. Here, we synthesize a self-stacked 6R phase in NbSeTe, showing perfect alternating 1T and 1H layers that grow coherently along the c-direction, as revealed by scanning transmission electron microscopy. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy shows a mixed contribution of the trigonal and octahedral Nb bands to the Fermi level.

Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have become an established platform to engineer flat bands which can lead to strongly-correlated emergent phenomena. In particular, the family of Ta dichalcogenides in the 1T phase presents a star-of-David charge density wave that creates a flat band at the Fermi level. For TaSand TaSethis flat band is at half filling leading to a magnetic insulating phase.

Adolescent offenders (AOs) express difficulty in cognitive processes linked to emotional processing, which is a response consistently observed during the endogenous (i.e.

Here, we report the experimental and theoretical study of the cross-plane thermal conductivity, κ, of the van der Waals two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnet FeGeTe. We observe an increase in κ with thickness, indicating a diffusive transport regime with ballistic contributions.
