Electronic and atomic structures of the Sr3Ir4Sn13 single crystal: A possible charge density wave material
X-ray scattering (XRS), x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopic techniques were used to study the electronic and atomic structures of the high-quality Sr3Ir4Sn13 (SIS) single crystal below and above the transition temperature (T* ≈ 147 K). The evolution of a series of modulated satellite peaks below the transition temperatu...
متن کاملStrain Engineering a 4a×√3a Charge Density Wave Phase in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide 1T-VSe2.
We report a rectangular charge density wave (CDW) phase in strained 1T-VSe2 thin films synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy on c-sapphire substrates. The observed CDW structure exhibits an unconventional rectangular 4a×√3a periodicity, as opposed to the previously reported hexagonal 4a×4a structure in bulk crystals and exfoliated thin layered samples. Tunneling spectroscopy shows a strong modu...
متن کاملAtomic lattice disorder in charge-density-wave phases of exfoliated dichalcogenides (1T-TaS2).
Charge-density waves (CDWs) and their concomitant periodic lattice distortions (PLDs) govern the electronic properties in several layered transition-metal dichalcogenides. In particular, 1T-TaS2 undergoes a metal-to-insulator phase transition as the PLD becomes commensurate with the crystal lattice. Here we directly image PLDs of the nearly commensurate (NC) and commensurate (C) phases in thin,...
متن کاملLocal atomic structure and discommensurations in the charge density wave of CeTe3.
The local structure of in the incommensurate charge density wave (IC-CDW) state has been obtained using atomic pair distribution function analysis of x-ray diffraction data. Local atomic distortions in the Te nets due to the CDW are larger than observed crystallographically, resulting in distinct short and long Te-Te bonds. Observation of different distortion amplitudes in the local and average...
متن کاملMeasurement of the shear strength of a charge density wave.
We have explored the shear plasticity of charge density waves (CDWs) in NbSe3 samples with cross sections having a single microfabricated thickness step. Shear stresses along the step result from thickness-dependent CDW pinning. For small thickness differences the CDW depins elastically at the volume average depinning field. For large thickness differences the thicker, more weakly pinned side d...
