Title: Persistent Charge-Density-Wave Order in Single-Layer TaSe ₂

Abstract

Understanding the collective electronic phases of two-dimensional (2D) materials requires a comprehensive investigation of the relation between lattice symmetry and electronic structure1-3. Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) provide a material platform to study collective states such as charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity4-7. By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we present the electronic characterization of single-layer 1H-TaSe2 grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). We demonstrate that 3×3 CDW order persists despite distinct changes in the low energy electronic structure highlighted by a reduction in the number of bands crossing the Fermi energy (EF) and corresponding modification of Fermi surface (FS) topology. Enhanced spin orbit coupling and lattice distortion in the single-layer limit play a crucial role in the formation of CDW order. Our findings provide a deeper understanding of the nature of CDW order in the 2D limit.

Characterization of collective ground states in single-layer NbSe ₂

Journal Article Ugeda, Miguel M. ; Bradley, Aaron J. ; Zhang, Yi ; ... - Nature Physics

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides are ideal systems for exploring the effects of dimensionality on correlated electronic phases such as charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity. In bulk NbSe ₂ a CDW sets in at T CDW = 33 K and superconductivity sets in at T _c = 7.2 K. Below T _c these electronic states coexist but their microscopic formation mechanisms remain controversial. Here we present an electronic characterization study of a single two-dimensional (2D) layer of NbSe ₂ by means of low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and electrical transport measurements. We demonstrate that 3more »« less

Spectroscopic signature of moment-dependent electron–phonon coupling in 2 H-TaS ₂

Journal Article Wijayaratne, Kapila ; Zhao, Junjing ; Malliakas, Christos ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry C

Here, charge density wave (CDW) order is ubiquitous among low-dimensional electronic systems, as realized in layered materials such as various 1 T and 2 H polytypes of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). In particular, 2 H-TaS ₂, a prominent member of the vast family of TMDs, hosts a canonical CDW phase transition whose mechanism remains controversial even after decades of research. Using state-of-the-art angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements, we report, for the first time, pronounced many-body renormalizations in 2 H-TaS ₂. These renormalizations are manifested by the presence of multiple slope changes, known as “kinks”, in the electronic dispersions. Themore »« less

Angle-resolved photoemission study of the evolution of band structure and charge density wave properties in RTe3 (R= Y, La, Ce, Sm, Gd, Tb and Dy)

Journal Article Brouet, V. ; Yang, W.L. ; Zhou, X.J. ; ... - Submitted to Physical Review B

We present a detailed ARPES investigation of the RTe{sub 3} family, which sets this system as an ideal 'textbook' example for the formation of a nesting driven Charge Density Wave (CDW). This family indeed exhibits the full range of phenomena that can be associated to CDW instabilities, from the opening of large gaps on the best nested parts of Fermi Surface (FS) (up to 0.4eV), to the existence of residual metallic pockets. ARPES is the best suited technique to characterize these features, thanks to its unique ability to resolve the electronic structure in k-space. An additional advantage of RTe{sub 3}more »« less
