arge density waves in 1T-TaS2: an angle-resolved photoemission study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS2 is a layered material exhibiting charge density waves. Based on angleresolved photoemission experiments mapping spectral weight at the Fermi surface and density functional theory calculations we discuss possible mechanisms involved with the creation of charge density waves. At first the flat parts of the elliptically shaped Fermi surface appear to play an important role via Fermi surface nesting. A closer analysis of the charge density wave induced new Brillouin zones and the possible energy balance between elastic deformation energy and electronic energy points to a more complicated scenario.

Clocking the melting transition of charge and lattice order in 1T-TaS2 with ultrafast extreme-ultraviolet angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
We use time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub-30-fs extreme-ultraviolet pulses to map the time- and momentum-dependent electronic structure of photoexcited 1T-TaS(2). This compound is a two-dimensional Mott insulator with charge-density wave ordering. Charge order, evidenced by splitting between occupied subbands at the Brillouin zone boundary, melts well before the lattic...

Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy ~ARPES!, we examined the charge density wave ~CDW! compound 1T-TaS2 as a function of the photon energy ~energy range from 11 up to 33 eV! for both quasicommensurate ~QC! and commensurate ~C! CDW phases. While the QC-phase normal emission ARPES spectra coincide with previous results, normal emission spectra of the C phase reveal evi...

The temperature-dependent electronic structure of 1T-TaS2 near the Fermi level, determined by means of angle-resolved photoemission with high-energy resolution of 35 meV, exhibits a distinct energy gap associated with a metal-semiconductor transition at 180 K on cooling, whereas on warming up the retransformation occurs in the electronic structure at 280 K. The complex phase transformation beha...
متن کاملUltrafast melting of a charge-density wave in the Mott insulator 1T-TaS2.
Femtosecond time-resolved core-level photoemission spectroscopy with a free-electron laser is used to measure the atomic-site specific charge-order dynamics of the charge-density wave in the Mott insulator 1T-TaS2. After strong photoexcitation, a prompt loss of charge order and subsequent fast equilibration dynamics of the electron-lattice system are observed. On the time scale of electron-phon...
متن کاملEvidence for an excitonic insulator phase in 1T-TiSe2.
We present a new high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission study of 1T-TiSe2 in both its room-temperature, normal phase and its low-temperature, charge-density wave phase. At low temperature the photoemission spectra are strongly modified, with large band renormalizations at high-symmetry points of the Brillouin zone and a very large transfer of spectral weight to backfolded bands. A calcula...
