摘要:

在层状过渡金属二硫属化合物(TMD)准二维电子系统中,关于向电荷密度波(CDW)相转变的性质,即是用Peierls型机制还是用晶格驱动模型来描述仍存在争议。通过扫描隧道显微镜(STM)对规范的TMD-CDW系统进行了实验研究,我们分别对2 H-TaS $_2$、TaSe $_2$和NbSe $_2$的电子调制和晶格畸变进行了成像。在这三种材料中,我们发现了占主导地位的晶格贡献,而不是从Peierls跃迁预期的电子调制,与CDW状态相反,CDW状态显示出填充和空状态之间的对比度反转的标志。我们的研究结果表明,周期性晶格畸变(PLD)起着至关重要的作用,在形成的CDW阶段的TMD和说明的重要性,考虑到更复杂的晶格自由度时,研究相关的电子系统。

英文摘要:

In the quasi-2D electron systems of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) there is still a controversy about the nature of the transitions to charge-density wave (CDW) phases, i.e. whether they are described by a Peierls-type mechanism or by a lattice-driven model. By performing scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments on the canonical TMD-CDW systems, we have imaged the electronic modulation and the lattice distortion separately in 2H-TaS$_2$, TaSe$_2$, and NbSe$_2$. Across the three materials, we found dominant lattice contributions instead of the electronic modulation expected from Peierls transitions, in contrast to the CDW states that show the hallmark of contrast inversion between filled and empty states. Our results imply that the periodic lattice distortion (PLD) plays a vital role in the formation of CDW phases in the TMDs and illustrate the importance of taking into account the more complicated lattice degree of freedom when studying correlated electron systems.
