Abstract:
The quasimetallic 1T′ phase 2D transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) consist of 1D zigzag metal chains stacked periodically along a single axis. This gives rise to its prominent physical properties which promises the onset of novel physical phenomena and applications. Here, the in‐plane electronic correlations are explored, and new mid‐infrared plasmon excitations in 1T′ phase monolayer WSe2 and MoS2 are observed using optical spectroscopies. Based on an extensive first‐principles study which analyzes the charge dynamics across multiple axes of the atomic‐layered systems, the collective charge excitations are found to disperse only along the direction perpendicular to the chains. Further analysis reveals that the interchain long‐range coupling is responsible for the coherent 1D charge dynamics and the spin–orbit coupling affects the plasmon frequency. Detailed investigation of these charge collective modes in 2D‐chained systems offers opportunities for novel device applications and has implications for the underlying mechanism that governs superconductivity in 2D TMD systems.
