“…The reduced dimensionality of TMCs results in weak screening of the Coulomb interaction and consequently large exciton binding energies, which could lead to condensation at noncryogenic temperatures. Among this family of materials, particular attention has been devoted to Ta 2 NiSe 5 following hints of the potential existence of an EI phase below 328 K (8)(9)(10)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). These works have provided insights into the properties in Ta 2 NiSe 5 , for instance, by using equilibrium (8,12) and time-resolved (9,17,18,21,23) angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), by analyzing the effect of physical and chemical pressure (14,22), by doping (16), and by detecting anomalies in charge transport (14), optical signatures (24,25), and phonon properties (10,15,19,20,22,26) as a function of temperature.…”
