We have grown thulium tellurides (TmTe2, TmTe3) thin layers (less than four layers) on graphene/SiC (0001) by molecular beam epitaxy. The charge density waves (CDWs) and lattice superstructures (LSs) are investigated by scanning tunneling…

We investigate the rare-earth polychalcogenide $R_2$Te$_5$ ($R$=Nd, Sm and Gd) charge-density-wave (CDW) compounds by optical methods. From the absorption spectrum we extract the excitation energy of the CDW gap and estimate the fraction of…

We present optical spectroscopy measurements on rare-earth ditelluride single crystals of LaTe$_{1.95}$ and CeTe$_{1.95-x}$Se$_x$ (x=0 and 0.16). The measurements reveal formation of charge density wave energy gaps at rather high energy…

The spatially uniform electronic density characteristic of a metal can become unstable at low temperatures, leading to the formation of charge density waves (CDWs). These CDWs, observed in dichalcogenides, cuprates, and pnictides arise from…

The rare-earth tritellurides ($R$Te$_3$, where $R$ = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Y) form a charge density wave state consisting of a single unidirectional charge density wave for lighter $R$, with a second unidirectional…

The electronic structure of NdTe$_3$ in the charge density wave phase (CDW) is investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The combination of high-quality crystals and careful surface preparation reveals subtle and previously…

We present the first direct study of charge density wave (CDW) formation in quasi-2D single layer LaTe_2 using high-resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED). CDW formation is…

We carried out a comprehensive study of the electronic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of Ni-doped ZrTe$_2$. High quality Ni$_{0.04}$ZrTe$_{1.89}$ single crystals show a possible coexistence of charge density waves (CDW,…

The La and Ce di-tellurides LaTe$_2$ and CeTe$_2$ are deep in the charge-density-wave (CDW) ground state even at 300 K. We have collected their electrodynamic response over a broad spectral range from the far infrared up to the ultraviolet.…

The Fermi surface of rare-earth tri-tellurides ({\it R}Te$_{3}$) is investigated in terms of the nesting driven charge-density wave formation using positron annihilation and first-principles LMTO calculations. Fermi surface nesting is…

We present an optical spectroscopy study on singe crystalline ErTe$_3$, a rare-earth-element tri-telluride which experiences two successive charge density wave (CDW) transitions at T$_{c1}$ = 267 K and T$_{c2}$ = 150 K. Two corresponding…

We use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to study charge density wave (CDW) states in the rare-earth di-telluride, CeTe$_{2}$. In contrast to previous experimental and first-principles studies of the rare-earth di-tellurides, our STM…

Charge density waves in transition metal dichalcogenides have been intensively studied for their close correlation with Mott insulator, charge-transfer insulator, and superconductor. VTe2 monolayer recently comes into sight because of its…

Two-dimensional materials constitute a promising platform for developing nanoscale devices and systems. Their physical properties can be very different from those of the corresponding three-dimensional materials because of extreme quantum…

Group-5 transition metal ditellurides $M$Te$_2$ ($M$ = V, Nb, Ta) are unique CdI$_2$-type layered materials that exhibit peculiar quasi-one-dimensional intralayer superstructures, known as ribbon-chains and butterfly-like clusters of $M$…

Nonlinear transport properties are reported in the layered DyTe$_3$ compound at temperature below the charge-density-wave (CDW) transition, $T_P=302$ K. Conductivity is increasing sharply above the threshold electric field. Under…

We studied the electronic structure of rare-earth ditelluride (ReTe_2 : Re = La, Pr, Sm, and Gd) using photoemission spectroscopy. From the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of the 3d core levels of rare-earth elements, we found…

Charge density wave (CDW) systems are proposed to exhibit application potential for electronic and optoelectronic devices. Therefore, identifying new materials that exhibit a CDW state at room temperature is crucial for the development of…
