A flexible broadband terahertz modulator based on a strain-sensitive MXene material is reported. MXene is shown to have high terahertz wave absorption through experimental testing of various substrate samples. Results show that the THz signal transmission increases with increasing stretching degree, which differs obviously from transmission through pure PVAc substrates. Analysis of the terahertz time-domain spectrum and electrical characterization indicate that the sample’s conductivity decreases with increasing stretching degree. The trend and magnitude of the electrical conductivity results are also very similar to those from the time-domain spectrum. MXene is shown to be a simple, efficient terahertz broadband spectrum modulator with transmittance that can be affected by applying external forces.

A continuous sequence of compounds having composition NbxTa1-xTe4; 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 have been studied by electron diffraction and microscopy. Previous studies have shown that the end members of the series, TaTε4 and NbTε4 possess a quasi-one-dimensional character and exhibit charge density wave (CDW) distortions. In these compounds, the subcell structure is tetragonal with axes (a × a × c) and consists of the metal atoms (Nb or Ta) centered within an extended antiprismatic cage of Te atoms. At room temperature, TaTε4 has a commensurate modulation structure with a 2a × 2a × 3c unit cell. In NbTε4, an incommensurate modulation with × ∼ 16c axes is observed. Preliminary studies of the mixed compounds NbxTα1-xTε4 showed a discontinuous jump of the modulation wave vector commensurate to incommensurate when the Nb dopant concentration x, exceeded x ≃ 0.3, In this paper, the nature of the compositional dependence of is studied in greater detail and evidence is presented for a stepwise variation of . This constitutes the first direct evidence for a Devil's staircase in CDW materials.
