Article Abstract
Superlattices-a periodic stacking of two-dimensional layers of two or more materials-provide a versatile scheme for engineering materials with tailored properties. Here we report an intrinsic heterodimensional superlattice consisting of alternating layers of two-dimensional vanadium disulfide (VS) and a one-dimensional vanadium sulfide (VS) chain array, deposited directly by chemical vapour deposition. This unique superlattice features an unconventional 1T stacking with a monoclinic unit cell of VS/VS layers identified by scanning transmission electron microscopy. An unexpected Hall effect, persisting up to 380 kelvin, is observed when the magnetic field is in-plane, a condition under which the Hall effect usually vanishes. The observation of this effect is supported by theoretical calculations, and can be attributed to an unconventional anomalous Hall effect owing to an out-of-plane Berry curvature induced by an in-plane magnetic field, which is related to the one-dimensional VS chain. Our work expands the conventional understanding of superlattices and will stimulate the synthesis of more extraordinary superstructures.

Superlattice materials have emerged as promising candidates for water electrocatalysis due to their tunable crystal structures, electronic properties, and potential for interface engineering. However, the catalytic activity of transition metal-based superlattice materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is often constrained by their intrinsic electronic band structures, which can limit charge carrier mobility and active site availability. Herein, a highly efficient electrocatalyst based on a VS-VS heterodimensional (2D-1D) superlattice with sulfur vacancies is designed addressing the limitations posed by the intrinsic electronic structure.

Article Synopsis
- Localized magnetic moments in non-magnetic materials can significantly impact their metallic properties, leading to phenomena like the Kondo effect and heavy fermion behavior.
- This study focuses on a heterodimensional superlattice structure made of one-dimensional VS chains surrounded by two-dimensional VS layers, where the Kondo effect is observed to exhibit unusual anisotropic behavior.
- The anisotropy in the Kondo effect is linked to the unique magnetic properties of the 1D chains, as confirmed by advanced calculations, paving the way for new research in exotic correlated physics within heterodimensional materials.

The conventional Hall effect is linearly proportional to the field component or magnetization component perpendicular to a film. Despite the increasing theoretical proposals on the Hall effect to the in-plane field or magnetization in various special systems induced by the Berry curvature, such an unconventional Hall effect has only been experimentally reported in Weyl semimetals and in a heterodimensional superlattice. Here, we report an unambiguous experimental observation of the antisymmetric planar Hall effect (APHE) with respect to the in-plane magnetic field in centrosymmetric rutile RuO and IrO single-crystal films.

Gate-controlled ionic intercalation in the van der Waals gap of 2D layered materials can induce novel phases and unlock new properties. However, this strategy is often unsuitable for densely packed 2D non-layered materials. The non-layered rhombohedral CrS is an intrinsic heterodimensional superlattice with alternating layers of 2D CrS and 0D Cr.

The anomalous Hall effect (AHE), a protocol of various low-power dissipation quantum phenomena and a fundamental precursor of intriguing topological phases of matter, is usually observed in ferromagnetic materials with an orthogonal configuration between the electric field, magnetization, and the Hall current. Here, based on the symmetry analysis, we find an unconventional AHE induced by the in-plane magnetic field (IPAHE) via the spin-canting effect in PT-symmetric antiferromagnetic (AFM) systems, featuring a linear dependence of magnetic field and 2π angle periodicity with a comparable magnitude to conventional AHE. We demonstrate the key findings in the known AFM Dirac semimetal CuMnAs and a new kind of AFM heterodimensional VS_{2}-VS superlattice with a nodal-line Fermi surface and, also, briefly discuss the experimental detection.
