LaTe3 is a model Charge Density Wave (CDW) material of the rare-earth tritelluride family, with an anisotropic CDW that has a transition temperature higher than 450 K [1]. The layered structure is furthermore anisotropic, resulting in a CDW that is preferentially one dimensional: A large bandgap of 0.4 eV exists along one direction, but at the same time metallic states are present in the perpendicular direction even below the CDW transition temperature [2].
The spectral function of this material has been measured by angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), including the k⊥ dispersion, giving access to the full 3-dimensional band structure.
In this experimental ARPES study, we show how the CDW can be largely accounted for by nesting of wave vectors at the Fermi surface.
