The 1T phase of tantalum disulfide (1T-TaS2) possesses a variety of charge-density-wave (CDW) orders, and as a result, it attracts an increasing amount of academic and technological interest. Researchers have devoted tremendous efforts towards understanding the impacts of doping, alloying, intercalation or other triggering agents on its charge density wave orders. In this work, we demonstrate that incorporating potassium chloride (KCl) during chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of TaS2 can control the phase (1T, 2H or metal nanowires) via the intercalation of potassium ions (K+) between TaS2 layers. Finally, we demonstrate that K+ not only impacts the structure during synthesis but also strongly impacts the CDW phase transition as a function of temperature, increasing the nearly commensurate (NCCDW) to commensurate (CCDW) transition to just below room temperature.

We produce families of two-dimensional gap solitons (GSs) maintained by moiré lattices (MLs) composed of linear and nonlinear sublattices, with the defocusing sign of the nonlinearity. Depending on the angle between the sublattices, the ML may be quasiperiodic or periodic, composed of mutually incommensurate or commensurate sublattices, respectively (in the latter case, the inter-lattice angle corresponds to Pythagorean triples). The GSs include fundamental, quadrupole, and octupole solitons, as well as quadrupoles and octupoles carrying unitary vorticity.

We have carried out density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to study the magnetic stability of both ferromagnetic (FM) and anti-ferromagnetic (AFM) states in monolayer 1T-CrTe. Our results show that the AFM order is lower in energy and thus is the ground state. By tuning the lattice parameters, the AFM order can transition to the FM order, in good agreement with experimental observation.

Article Synopsis
- 2D materials, such as transition metal-dichalcogenides like MoS, have gained significant attention for their unique layered structures, which lead to distinct physicochemical properties when isolated as single layers compared to their bulk forms.
- The ability to stack and twist these layers creates new phenomena, such as Moiré patterns, while misfit layer compounds (MLCs) introduce unconventional lattice structures that allow for the formation of nanotubes.
- The stability and behavior of these nanostructures, particularly under elevated temperatures, are important aspects that remain underexplored, prompting studies using advanced techniques like electron microscopy and synchrotron-based X-ray methods to understand their decomposition and recrystallization processes.

A high-performance stealth platform is one of the crucial requirements in defence technology that could practically be realized by building effective microwave frequency selective surface (FSS) absorbers. Herein, we report the design and manufacturing of an absorber by tuning the rheology of cell architecture. Initially, a fan-shaped cell (10.

Purpose: Acute ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Despite advances in medical technology, nearly 30% of strokes result in incomplete vessel recanalization. Recent studies have demonstrated that clot composition correlates with success rates of mechanical thrombectomy procedures.
