Charge-density-wave (CDW) order has long been interpreted as arising from a Fermi-surface instability in the parent metallic phase. While phonon-electron coupling has been suggested to influence the formation of CDW order in…
The concept of a Charge Density Wave (CDW) permeates much of condensed matter physics and chemistry. Conceptually, CDWs have their origin rooted in the instability of a one-dimensional system described by Peierls. The extension of this…
Charge density wave, or CDW, is usually associated with Fermi surfaces nesting. We here report a new CDW mechanism discovered in a 2H-structured transition metal dichalcogenide, where the two essential ingredients of CDW are realized in…
Charge density wave (CDW) correlations are prevalent in all copper-oxide superconductors. While CDWs in conventional metals are driven by coupling between lattice vibrations and electrons, the role of the electron-phonon coupling (EPC) in…
We present a high energy-resolution inelastic x-ray scattering investigation of the soft phonon mode in the charge-density-wave system TbTe$_3$. We analyze our data based on lattice dynamical calculations using…
Charge density wave (CDW) is a periodic modulation of electronic charge leading to a reconstruction of the lattice, an emergence of zone folded mode along with collective excitations.1 Transition metal chalcogenides have shown a great…
We discuss the first theory for the depinning of low dimensional, incommensurate, charge density waves (CDWs) in the strong electron-phonon (e-p) regime. Arguing that most real CDWs systems invariably develop a gigantic dielectric constant…
We investigate the controversial case of charge-density-wave (CDW) order in single layer 1T-TiSe$_2$ by employing the density functional perturbation theory with on-site Hubbard interactions. The results emphasize the crucial role of…
The interplay between charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity has attracted much attention. This is the central issue of along standing debate in simple transition metal dichalcogenides without strong electronic correlations,…
We report inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of the temperature dependence of phonon dispersion in the prototypical charge-density-wave (CDW) compound NbSe2. Surprisingly, acoustic phonons soften to zero frequency and become overdamped…
The compound CuTe (vulcanite) undergoes a quasi one dimensional charge density wave (CDW) at $T< T_{\mathrm{CDW}}=335$ K with a $5\times1\times2$ periodicity. The mechanism at its origin is debated. Several theoretical works claimed that…
Charge density wave (CDW), a symmetry-breaking collective phenomenon in condensed matter systems, exhibits periodic modulations of electron density coupled with lattice distortions, where the lattice plays a critical role via…
Since their theoretical prediction by Peierls in the 30s, charge density waves (CDW) have been one of the most commonly encountered electronic phases in low dimensional metallic systems. The instability mechanism originally proposed…
The existence of a charge density wave (CDW) in transition metal dichalcogenide CuS$_2$ has remained undetermined since its first experimental synthesis nearly 50 years ago. Despite conflicting experimental literature regarding its low…
The origin of charge density wave (CDW) is a long-term open issue. Furthermore, the evolution of phonon-phonon interactions (PPI) across CDW transitions has rarely been investigated. Besides, whether electron-phonon coupling (EPC) would be…
Monolayer 2H-NbSe2 has recently been shown to be a 2-dimensional superconductor, with a coexisting charge-density wave (CDW). As both phenomena are intimately related to electron-lattice interaction, a natural question is how…
We propose a theory for quasi-two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides that provides a unified microscopic picture of the charge density wave (CDW) and superconducting phases. We show, based on the electron-phonon coupling and Fermi…
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) governs lattice dynamics, charge transport, and collective electronic phases in quantum materials. In several families of unconventional superconductors, including transition-metal dichalcogenides and kagome…
We investigate the interplay between charge density wave (CDW) instabilities and ferromagnetism in SmNiC$_2$ using diffuse and inelastic x-ray scattering together with Raman spectroscopy. We identify a soft acoustic phonon driving the…
Despite extensive investigations, many aspects of charge density waves (CDWs) remain elusive, especially the relative roles of electron-phonon coupling and Fermi surface nesting as the underlying driving mechanisms responsible for the…
