SUMMARY:Claude Monney I What is the role of electronic correlations in  1T-TaS2 ?
DESCRIPTION:\nDepartment of Physics, University of Fribourg, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland\n\n\n\nTantalum disulphide (1T-TaS2) is a layered material that hosts a series of charge density wave (CDW) phases at temperatures below ~350K, and an insulating commensurate CDW (CCDW) phase below ~165 K. In 1976, already, it was recognized that the particular rearrangement of atoms in so-called Star-of-David within the CCDW phase might lead to a Mott phase due to the presence of strong electronic correlations and small electronic bandwidth of the Ta 5d band [1]. Since then, more evidence in favour of a Mott phase has accumulated in the literature. However, recently, this picture has been challenged by the proposal that interlayer hybridization is in fact responsible for the insulating CCDW phase [2]. What is then the role of electronic correlations in this material?\n\n\n\nIn this talk, I will present recent scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on 1T-TaS2 surfaces combined with advanced electronic structure calculations (GW+EDMFT) showing actually that both pictures, the Mott correlations and the interlayer hybridization, are leading to band gap formation and thus the insulating character of the CCDW phase in 1T-TaS2 [3].\n\n\n\nIn a second part, I will show how strain can be employed to modify the ground state of 1T-TaS2 as probed by ARPES [5]. As a consequence of strain, a bandwidth-driven insulator-metal transition is observed upon reducing temperature. The presence of an emergent quasi-particle peak at the Fermi level further supports that the system hosts Mott correlations.\n\n\n\nIn a third part, I will discuss the occurrence of a metallic phase in pristine 1T-TaS2 samples. Indeed, recent investigations have revealed the existence of a metastable metallic phase accessible from the CCDW phase by applying a laser- or current pulse [5,6]. Here STM/STS measurements on surfaces not exposed to such pulses show the same metallic electronic structure and topographic features as the pulse induced phase over distances of hundreds of nanometres [7]. We provide evidence of a change in top layer stacking in this metallic phase. This finding indicates a strong influence of the interlayer stacking on the electronic structure of the material.\n\n\n\nAll in all, the recent literature and our studies depict the layered material 1T-TaS2 as a complex material for which a subtle combination of electronic correlations and interlayer stacking leads to a rich phase diagram.\n\n\n\nThis work is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation.\n\n\n\n[1] Tosatti and Fazekas, Journal de Physique 37, C4-165 (1976).\n\n\n\n[2] Ritschel et al., Phys.
