We investigate mechanically exfoliated thin 1T-TaS$_2$ with scanning tunneling microscopy at room temperature. Sample preparation without air exposure enables access to intrinsic charge-density-wave (CDW) phases of thin 1T-TaS$_2$. At room…
Femtosecond time-resolved X-ray diffraction is used to study a photo-induced phase transition between two charge density wave (CDW) states in 1T-TaS$_2$, namely the nearly commensurate (NC) and the incommensurate (I) CDW states. Structural…
We study the coupled charge-lattice dynamics in the commensurate charge density wave (CDW) phase of the layered compound 1T-TaS$_{2}$ driven by an ultrashort laser pulse. For describing its electronic structure, we employ a tight-binding…
We report a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy study of the charge density wave (CDW) order in 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ and Cu$_{0.08}$TiSe$_2$. In pristine 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ we observe a long-range coherent commensurate CDW (C-CDW) order. In…
Photoexcitation is a powerful means in distinguishing different interactions and manipulating the states of matter, especially in complex quantum systems. As a well-known charge density wave (CDW) material, 1T-TaS2 has been widely studied…
Multiple charge density wave (CDW) phases in 2H-TaSe2 are investigated by high-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction. In a narrow temperature range immediately above the commensurate CDW transition, we observe a multi-q superstructure…
We report temperature-dependent transport and x-ray diffraction measurements of the influence of Ti hole doping on the charge density wave (CDW) in 1T-Ta(1-x)Ti(x)S(2). Confirming past studies, we find that even trace impurities eliminate…
We use scanning tunneling microscopy to study the domain structure of the nearly-commensurate charge density wave (NC-CDW) state of 1T-TaS$_2$. In our sub-angstrom characterization of the state, we find a continual evolution of the CDW…
Using temperature dependent Raman spectroscopy we address the question of how the transition from bulk to few atomic layers affects the charge density wave (CDW) phases in 1T-TaS2. We find that for crystals with thickness larger than approx…
We investigate the nonequilibrium electronic structure of 1T-TaS2 by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We observe that strong photoexcitation induces the collapse of the Mott gap, leading to the photo-induced metallic…
We use scanning tunneling microscopy to study the temperature evolution of the atomic-scale properties of the nearly-commensurate charge density wave (NC-CDW) state of the low-dimensional material, 1T-TaS$_2$. Our measurements at 203 K, 300…
The impact of variable Ti self-doping on the 1T-TiSe2 charge density wave (CDW) is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Supported by density functional theory we show that agglomeration of intercalated-Ti atoms acts as preferential…
Transport studies of atomically thin 1T-TaS2 have demonstrated the presence of intermediate resistance states across the nearly commensurate (NC) to commensurate (C) charge density wave (CDW) transition, which can be further switched…
Bulk 1T-TaSe2 exhibits unusually high charge density wave (CDW) transition temperatures of 600 K and 473 K below which the material exists in the incommensurate (I-CDW) and the commensurate (C-CDW) charge-density-wave phases, respectively.…
We present a polarization-resolved, high-resolution Raman scattering study of the three consecutive charge density wave (CDW) regimes in $1T$-TaS$_2$ single crystals, supported by \textit{ab initio} calculations. Our analysis of the spectra…
Charge density waves (CDWs) underpin the electronic properties of many complex materials. Near-equilibrium CDW order is linearly coupled to a periodic, atomic-structural distortion, and the dynamics is understood in terms of amplitude and…
Although charge density waves (CDWs) are omnipresent in cuprate high-temperature superconductors, they occur at significantly different wavevectors, confounding efforts to understand their formation mechanism. Here, we use resonant…
The dynamics of the photoinduced commensurate to incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) phase transition in 4Hb-TaSe2 are investigated by femtosecond electron diffraction. In the perturbative regime the CDW reforms on a 150 ps timescale,…
When the period of an incommensurate charge density wave (ICDW) approaches an integer multiple of a lattice vector, the energy gain obtained from locking the period to the lattice can lead to a fascinating transition into a commensurate…
Charge density waves (CDW) are states of broken symmetry with a periodic modulation of charge and lattice typically leading to the opening of a gap in the band structure. In the model CDW system 1T-TiSe$_2$ such a gap opens up between its…
