Title: Charge Density Wave and Narrow Energy Gap at Room Temperature in 2D Pb3–xSb1+xS4Te2-δ with Square Te Sheets

Abstract

We report a new two-dimensional compound Pb3–xSb1+xS4Te2-δ has a charge density wave (CDW) at room temperature. The CDW is incommensurate with q-vector of 0.248(6)a* + 0.246(8)b* + 0.387(9)c* for x = 0.29(2) and d = 0.37(3) due to positional and occupational long range ordering of Te atoms in the sheets. The modulated structure was refined from the single crystal X-ray diffraction data with a superspace group P$$\bar{1}$$(αβγ)0 using (3 + 1)-dimensional crystallography. The resistivity increases with decreasing temperature, suggesting semiconducting behavior. The transition temperature (TCDW) of the CDW is ~ 345 K above which the Te square sheets become disordered with no q-vector. Lastly, first-principles density functional theory calculations on the undistorted structure and an approximate commensurate supercell reveal that the gap is due to the structure modulation.
