Direct observation of mono-layer, bi-layer, and tri-layer charge density waves in 1T-TaS2 by transmission electron microscopy without a substrate

Condensed Matter Physics: Charge density wave occurs in the two dimensional limit Charge density wave (CDW), a wave-like charge modulation, occurs in tri-, bi- and mono-layer crystals. A team led by Satoshi Tanda at Hokkaido University and collaborators at AIST in Japan observed CDWs in mono-, bi-,...
