Mottness versus unit-cell doubling as the driver of the insulating state in 1T-TaS2

In many strongly correlated systems the coupling of electronic and lattice degrees of freedom leads to ambiguity over the mechanism driving electronic phase transitions. Here the authors show that inter-layer effects play an important role in the charge ordering transition of 1T-TaS2.
