The proposed model assumes that charge-density waves are formed on equivalent, weakly interacting, one-dimensional columns. Various three-dimensional structures differing in the relative phasing of the charge-density waves on different columns are found, and the charge-density wave structures of TaTe4 and NbTe4 are interpreted in terms of these results.

AbstractWe report an epitaxial growth of TaSe2, a family of transition metal dichalcogenides that exhibit Charge Density Waves (CDW). The films that have been characterized with RHEED, LEED, XPS and STM showed two different phases. Occurrence of CDW in the ultrathin films has been detected by XPS and LEED.

By employing the concept of hidden nesting, we examined why charge density wave (CDW) instabilities occur in the two-dimensional (2D) metals, purple bronzes AMo 6 O 17 (A=K, Na, Tl), Magnéli phases Mo 4 O 11 and monophosphate tungsten bronzes (MPTB’s). These oxide metals consist of metal-oxygen (M-O) layers made up of MO 6 (M=Mo, W) octahedra, and the t 2g-block bands of these M-O layers are partially filled. The M-O layers are divided into three sets of parallel chains containing t 2g-orbitals, and the t 2g-orbitals of each MO 6 octahedron act as δ-orbitals toward the M-O axes perpendicular to the chains. Consequently, the t 2g-block bands of AMo 6 O 17, Mo 4 O 11 and MPTB’s can be described in terms of three hidden one-dimensional (1D) bands, which explains why these 2D metals possess three hidden 1D Fermi surfaces and give rise to the associated CDW instabilities. The hidden nesting concept is applicable to the diphosphate tungsten bronzes, which are apparently 2D metallic because their W-O layers have 1D bands dispersive in two orthogonal directions. In general, the electronic instabilities of any systems with several partially filled bands are expected to arise from hidden nesting.
