Title: Charge density wave modulation and gap measurements in CeTe 3

Abstract

We present a study of charge density wave (CDW) ordering in CeTe3 at room temperature using a scanning tunneling microscope and Raman spectroscopy. Two characteristic CDW ordering wave vectors obtained from the Fourier analysis are assessed to be |c*-q| = 4.19 nm-1 and |q| = 10.26 nm-1 where |c*| = 2π/c is the reciprocal lattice vector. The scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements, along with inelastic light (Raman) scattering measurements, show a CDW gap Δmax of approximately 0.37 eV. In addition to the CDW modulation, we observe an organization of the Te sheet atoms in an array of alternating V- and N-shaped groups along the CDW modulation, as predicted in the literature.
