Soft-Mode Behaviour of Phonons in the CDW Systems NbSe2 and TiSe2 — •Roland Hott1, Rolf Heid1, Klaus-Peter Bohnen1, Frank A. Weber2, Stephan Rosenkranz2, John-Paul A.

We investigated the soft-mode behaviour of phonons in the CDW systems NbSe2 and TiSe2 both theoretically in DFT-based ab-initio phonon calculations and experimentally by means of X-ray scattering. For NbSe2, our calculations predict the development of a phonon instability on reduction of the thermal broadening of the electronic states, in good agreement with the experimental findings. For TiSe2, our theoretical description correctly indicates a softening of the phonon dispersions in the experimentally observed critical regions of the Brillouin zone. However, the effect predicted here by our DFT-description appears to be too weak to explain the experimentally observed CDW instability.
