Low-frequency noise spectroscopy of charge-density-wave phase transitions in vertical quasi-2D 1T-TaS2 devices
2019
We report results regarding the electron transport in vertical quasi-two-dimensional (2D) layered 1T-TaS 2 charge-density-wave (CDW) devices. The low-frequency noise spectroscopy was used as a tool to study changes in the cross-plane electrical characteristics of the quasi-2D material below room temperature. The noise spectral density revealed strong peaks - changing by more than an order-of-magnitude - at the temperatures closely matching the electrical resistance steps. Some of the noise peaks appeared below the temperature of the commensurate to nearly-commensurate CDW transition, possibly indicating the presence of the debated hidden phase transitions. These results confirm the potential of the noise spectroscopy for investigations of electron transport and phase transitions in novel materials.
