- Metal chalcogenide materials have extraordinarily diverse structural and electronic properties. This talk will focus on our recent work with metal dichalcogenide and trichalcogenide compositions that exhibit metallic properties and charge density wave behavior, including TaSe2, TaSsub2, TaSe3, and NbS3. These materials can be exfoliated into nanosheets or nanoribbons, which can form the basis of nanostructured devices with special applications in the area of radiation-resilient electronics.
