Controlling Quantum Materials by Growth: Thermodynamics, Kinetics, and Defect Engineering in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides

Anzar Ali, Mahmoud Abdel-Hafiez, Md Ezaz Hasan Khan

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

synthesis determines the structural and defect landscape from which collective electronic behavior emerges... crystal growth as a central parameter in determining the effective electronic Hamiltonian realized in experiment.

C2weakest assumption

That the thermodynamic and kinetic principles can be mapped uniformly across bulk and thin-film methods to predict electronic states without requiring additional material-specific microscopic details or post-growth characterization.

C3one line summary

Growth conditions in TMDs function as thermodynamic boundary conditions that set defect landscapes and polytype stability, thereby determining the emergent electronic Hamiltonian and collective quantum phases.
