About a half of the Fermi surface in rare-earth tritellurides RT e3 becomes gapped below the transition to a charge-density-wave (CDW) state, as revealed by ARPES data. However, the observed jump in resistivity during the CDW transition is…

We show that the isotropic conductivity in the normal state of rare-earth tritelluride RTe_3 compounds is broken by the occurrence of the unidirectional charge density wave (CDW) in the (a,c) plane below the Peierls transition temperature.…

Motivated by recent experiments reporting unconventional collective modes in the charge density-wave (CDW) state of rare-earth tritellurides $R$Te$_3$, we derive from a multi-orbital microscopic model on the square net a CDW Ginzburg-Landau…

We report a strong difference in the sliding properties of the bidirectional charge density wave (CDW) in the two-dimensional rare earth tritelluride ErTe$_3$ which occurs below $T_{CDW1}=265$ K with a wave vector along $c$-axis and below…

Charge density wave (CDW) states in solids bear an intimate connection to underlying fermiology. Modification of the latter by a suitable perturbation provides an attractive handle to unearth novel CDW states. Here, we combine extensive…

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 investigate the pressure dependence of the optical properties of CeTe$_3$, which exhibits an incommensurate charge-density-wave (CDW) state already at 300 K. Our data are collected in the mid-infrared spectral range at room temperature…

We report the evolution of a charge density wave (CDW) state in the quasi-2D rare-earth tritellurides ($R$Te$_3$ for $R$=Er,Tm) as a function of in-plane uniaxial stress. Measurements of the elastocaloric effect, resistivity, and…

We performed optical spectroscopy measurement on single crystal of CeTe$_3$, a rare-earth element tri-telluride charge density wave (CDW) compound. The optical spectra are found to display very strong temperature dependence. Besides a large…

The charge density wave transition is investigated in the bi-layer family of rare earth tritelluride RTe_3 compounds (R = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) via high resolution x-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity. The transition…

Even though the rare-earth tritellurides are tetragonal materials with a quasi two dimensional (2D) band structure, they have a "hidden" 1D character. The resultant near-perfect nesting of the Fermi surface leads to the formation of a…

We report measurements of the magnetoresistance in the charge density wave (CDW) state of rare-earth tritellurides, namely TbTe$_3$ and HoTe$_3$. The magnetic field dependence of magnetoresistance exhibits a temperature dependent crossover…

Understanding the origin of phase transitions and the interactions between distinct phases remains a central task in condensed matter physics. Charge density wave (CDW) systems provide an ideal platform for investigating these phenomena.…

We performed resonant soft X-ray diffraction on known charge density wave (CDW) compounds, rare earth tri-tellurides. Near the $M_5$ (3d - 4f) absorption edge of rare earth ions, an intense diffraction peak is detected at a wavevector…

Our measurements of the Hall coefficient in rare-earth tritelluride compounds reveal a strong hysteresis between cooling and warming in the low temperature range where a second unidirectional charge density wave (CDW) occurs. We show that…

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 wave (CDW) phases are symmetry-reduced states of matter in which a periodic modulation of the electronic charge frequently leads to drastic changes of the electronic spectrum, including the emergence of energy gaps. We…

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…

The occurrences of collective quantum states, such as superconductivity (SC) and charge- or spin-densitywaves (CDWs or SDWs), are among the most fascinating phenomena in solids. To date much effort has been made to explore the interplay…

Rare-earth tri-tellurium RTe$_3$ is a typical quasi-two dimensional system which exhibits obvious charge density wave (CDW) orders. So far, RTe$_3$ with heavier R ions (Dy, Ho, Er and Tm) are believed to experience two CDW phase…
