Title: Disorder Quenching of the Charge Density Wave in ZrTe 3

Abstract

The charge density wave (CDW) in ZrTe3 is quenched in samples with a small amount of Te isoelectronically substituted by Se. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we observe subtle changes in the electronic band dispersions and Fermi surfaces upon Se substitution. The scattering rates are substantially increased, in particular for the large three-dimensional Fermi surface sheet. The quasi-one-dimensional band is unaffected by the substitution and still shows a gap at low temperature, which starts to open from room temperature. Long-range order is, however, absent in the electronic states as in the periodic lattice distortion. Finally, the competition between superconductivity and the CDW is thus linked to the suppression of long-range order of the CDW.
