Abstract
Two-dimensional van der Waals materials have become an established platform to engineer flat bands which can lead to strongly-correlated emergent phenomena. In particular, the family of Ta dichalcogenides in the 1T phase presents a star-of-David charge density wave that creates a flat band at the Fermi level. For TaS2 and TaSe2 this flat band is at half filling leading to a magnetic insulating phase. In this work, we theoretically demonstrate that ligand substitution in the TaSe 2−x Te x system produces a transition from the magnetic insulator to a non-magnetic metal in which the flat band gets doped away from half-filling. For x∈[0.846,1.231] the spin-polarized flat band is self-doped and the system becomes a magnetic metal. In this regime, we show that attractive interactions promote three different spin-triplet superconducting phases as a function of x, corresponding to a nodal f-wave and two topologically-different chiral p-wave superconducting phases. Our results establish monolayer TaSe 2−x Te x as a promising platform for correlated flat band physics leading to unconventional superconducting states.
