Abstract:
With the successes of van der Waals heterostructures in unveiling exotic quantum states and enabling applications, direct fabrication of 2D superlattices beyond bulk limits is appealing. We realize an unprecedented 2D Kondo superlattice, Ta-NbS2, consisting of two coupled metallic 1H-NbS2 monolayers intercalated with growth-controlled periodic Ta sublattices. One-step CVD enables tunable periodicities, yielding three Ta-moment motifs: bulk-like simple triangular geometry of a× a (Type I), 2D spin-frustrated 4a×4a (Type II), and 2D saturated a× a (Type III). Beyond the logarithmic resistance upturn at Kondo temperature (TK), we observe anomalous Hall effect evolution from single-impurity to coherent Kondo regimes, reflecting collective Ta-Kondo sublattice interactions. Carrier density modulation tunes the balance between Kondo screening and RKKY interactions, establishing 2D bilayer Ta-NbS2 as an ultra-tunable 2D Kondo superlattice for correlated quantum phenomena, with potential applications in spintronics and quantum devices.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
