Engineering the Structural and Electronic Phases of MoTe2 through W Substitution

Abstract: MoTe2 is an exfoliable transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) that crystallizes in three symmetries: the semiconducting trigonal-prismatic 2H- or α-phase, the semimetallic and monoclinic 1T′- or β-phase, and the semimetallic orthorhombic γ-structure. The 2H-phase displays a band gap of ∼1 eV making it appealing for flexible and transparent optoelectronics. The γ-phase is predicted to possess unique topological properties that might lead to topologically protected nondissipative transport channels. Recently, it was argued that it is possible to locally induce phase-transformations in TMDs, through chemical doping, local heating, or electric-field to achieve ohmic contacts or to induce useful functionalities such as electronic phase-change memory elements. The combination of semiconducting and topological elements based upon the same compound might produce a new generation of high performance, low dissipation optoelectronic elements. Here, we show that it is possible to engineer the phases of MoTe2 through W...

Museum Quality: The Rise of the Fashion Exhibition

Abstract: This article surveys the history of museum fashion exhibitions, and explores some of the reasons why they have so often been controversial. Issues such as corporate sponsorship, curatorial independence, and historical accuracy are analyzed in connection with a range of exhibitions. In particular, the article considers the influence of Diana Vreeland's exhibitions at the Costume Institute and the issues that are raised when an exhibition is devoted to a single famous designer, such as Armani, Versace, or Vivienne Westwood.
