“…Due to the non-zero amplitude, the gap in the electronic structure will survive even above the transition temperature T CDW ¼ T MMA , in the form of a pseudogap phase 4,23 . The dynamical fluctuations in this regime may become locally pinned in the presence of defects, creating islands of order up to T ¼ T RPA E300 K, in agreement with recent STM and X-ray scattering experiments 23,24 . The properties of this regime are reminiscent of the features that characterize the pseudogap phase of cuprate high-temperature superconductors 35 , which have recently been shown typically to contain charge-ordered phases of their own [28][29][30] .…”

“…Specific similarities are the presence of a pseudogap, Fermi surface arcs, dynamical fluctuations and a corresponding sensitivity to the timescales employed by experimental probes, as well as the existence of the crossover to the normal state at T* ¼ T RPA . Note that the existence of a crossover temperature T*E300 K, between the pseudogap and disordered regimes predicted here, falls outside of the temperature range that has been probed in NbSe 2 to date 4,24 .…”

“…In an electronically nested system, on the other hand, the nesting vector localizes any fluctuations to a single point in momentum space. The second experimental result arguing for a strongly coupled transition is the observation of a reduction of the density of states persisting well above the transition temperature, in what has been termed a pseudogap regime 4,23,24 . In strongly coupled CDW materials, a pseudogap typically appears through the presence of locally fluctuating charge order without long-range coherence 23 .…”

Charge order from orbital-dependent coupling evidenced by NbSe2

Niobium diselenide has long served as a prototype of two-dimensional charge ordering, believed to arise from an instability of the electronic structure analogous to the one-dimensional Peierls mechanism. Despite this, various anomalous properties have recently been identified experimentally, which cannot be explained by Peierls-like weakcoupling theories. Here, we consider instead a model with strong electron-phonon coupling, taking into account both the full momentum and orbital dependence of the coupling matrix elements. We show that both are necessary for a consistent description of the full range of experimental observations. We argue that NbSe 2 is typical in this sense, and that any chargeordered material in more than one dimension will generically be shaped by the momentum and orbital dependence of its electron-phonon coupling as well as its electronic structure. The consequences will be observable in many charge-ordered materials, including cuprate superconductors.

“…Condensation of CDW by disorder has been examined in Refs. [35,36,[44][45][46][47][48][49]. Pinning of the CDW bears some similarities to pinning of the vortex lattice in superconductors [50][51][52], and is discussed using the Fukuyama-Lee-Rice theory [53,54].…”

Charge density wave in layeredLa1−xCexSb2

The layered rare-earth diantimonides RSb 2 are anisotropic metals with generally low electronic densities whose properties can be modified by substituting the rare earth. LaSb 2 is a nonmagnetic metal with a low residual resistivity presenting a low-temperature magnetoresistance that does not saturate with the magnetic field. It has been proposed that the latter can be associated to a charge density wave (CDW), but no CDW has yet been found. Here we find a kink in the resistivity above room temperature in LaSb 2 (at 355 K) and show that the kink becomes much more pronounced with substitution of La by Ce along the La 1−x Ce x Sb 2 series. We find signatures of a CDW in x-ray scattering, specific heat, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments in particular for x ≈ 0.5. We observe a distortion of rare-earth-Sb bonds lying in-plane of the tetragonal crystal using x-ray scattering, an anomaly in the specific heat at the same temperature as the kink in resistivity and charge modulations in STM. We conclude that LaSb 2 has a CDW which is stabilized in the La 1−x Ce x Sb 2 series due to substitutional disorder.
