Abstract
Atomically thin nanosheets, as recently realized using van der Waals layered materials, offer a versatile platform for studying the stability and tunability of the correlated electron phases in the reduced dimension. Here, we investigate a thickness-dependent excitonic insulating (EI) phase on a layered ternary chalcogenide Ta2NiSe5. Using Raman spectroscopy, scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and in-plane transport measurements, we found no significant changes in crystalline and electronic structures as well as disorder strength in ultrathin Ta2NiSe5 crystals with a thickness down to five layers. The transition temperature, Tc, of ultrathin Ta2NiSe5 is reduced from its bulk value by ΔTc/Tc bulk ≈ -9%, which strongly contrasts the case of 1T-TiSe2, another excitonic insulator candidate, showing an increase of Tc by ΔTc/Tc bulk ≈ +30%. This difference is attributed to the dominance of interband Coulomb interaction over electron-phonon interaction and its zero-ordering wave vector due to the direct band gap structure of Ta2NiSe5. The out-of-plane correlating length of the EI phase is estimated to have monolayer thickness, suggesting that the EI phase in Ta2NiSe5 is highly layer-confined and in the strong coupling limit. © 2016 American Chemical Society
