Real and Reciprocal Space Characterization of the 3-Dimensional Charge Density Wave in Quasi-1-Dimensional CuTe

Abstract

Low-dimensional materials are susceptible to electronic instabilities such as charge density waves (CDWs), originating from a divergence in the Lindhard electron response function, combined with a finite electron-phonon coupling strength. In this report, we present a detailed characterisation of the CDW in the quasi-one-dimensional material CuTe, including (1) direct visualization of lattice distortion seen with non-contact atomic force microscopy in real space, (2) the out-of-plane momentum dependency of the CDW gap size of the quasi-1-dimensional bands, by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, (3) coherent dynamics of a photoexcited phonon mode seen by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, with frequency and wavevector q_CDW corresponding to the soft phonon modes predicted by theory. Furthermore, we find that the CDW gap closes through a transient band renormalisation. We thus confirm that, despite the quasi-1D characteristics of CuTe, it hosts inherently 3-dimensional CDWs.
