Abstract

Fourier transformation of atomically resolved STM topography of (LaSe)1.14(NbSe2)(LaSe)_{1.14}(NbSe_2) revealed a surface modulation along the hexagonal surface lattice of NbSe2NbSe_2 layer, but with a two times larger period. We compare it to the modified charge density wave found on plain NbSe2NbSe_2 under strain.
