Pressure-induced quenching of the charge-density-wave state observed by x-ray diffraction

A. Sacchetti, C. L. Condron, S. N. Gvasaliya +11

We report an x-ray diffraction study on the charge-density-wave (CDW) LaTe${}_3$ and CeTe${}_3$ compounds as a function of pressure. We extract the lattice constants and the CDW modula…
