Two-dimensional triangular lattices of Group IV adatoms on diamond lattice substrates provide a rich playground for experimental studies and many-body calculation techniques. For the system investigated in this work, 1/3 monolayer of Pb on Si(111), preceeding studies have noted a phase transition from √3 × √3 to 3 × 3 at 86 K. In our high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements in the low-temperature phase, we have unveiled the formation of a charge-ordered state by carefully mapping the local density of states. Furthermore, we find a structural rearrangement with a 2-up/1-down configuration. These results are supported by state-of-the-art many body calculations using the Variational Cluster Approach (VCA), which is sensitive to both spin- and charge-densitiy wave instabilities. I will present a comparison of our measurements and the latest results from VCA calculations.
