1TTiSe2: Semimetal or Semiconductor?

Abstract: Even though the semimetallic behavior of 1T-TiSe2 seemed to be well established by band structure calculations and photoemission results, this conclusion has been challenged recently. Two high-resolution photoemission investigations deduced semiconducting behavior, however with a very small band gap. Such conclusion from photoemission is afflicted, in principle, by the problem of determining an unoccupied conduction band by photoemission. This problem is solved here by the idea of H2O adsorption onto the van d… Show more

“…However, given that the gap in TiSe 2 is very small, there is an ongoing debate over its exact value, 2,18,21,[23][24][25][26]36 which is irrelevant for the current discussion.…”

“…In its normal phase (at high temperatures), TiSe 2 consists of hexagonal layers of Ti sandwiched by octahedrally coordinated Se atoms, the so-called 1T-polytype for transition metal dichalcogenides.It is either a semimetal [1,2,16] or a semiconductor [9,17,18] with a small indirect gap of order 100 meV or less. At 202 K it undergoes a transition into a commensurate 2x2x2 CDW state [16].…”

“…At room temperature ͑RT͒, ARPES evidenced two main contributions near the Fermi energy E F , namely, a valence band ͑of Se 4p character͒ and conduction bands ͑of Ti 3d character͒, whose relative energy positions are still controversial. 9,10 At low temperature ͑LT͒, intense backfolded bands, characteristic of the CDW, appear. The origin of the CDW is not completely settled yet and resists to conventional explanations.…”
