Suppressing a Charge Density Wave by Changing Dimensionality in the Ferecrystalline Compounds ([SnSe]1.15)1(VSe2)n with n = 1, 2, 3, 4 — Andreas Fiedler1, Matthias Falmbigl2, David C.

The compounds, ([SnSe]1.15)1(VSe2)n with n = 1, 2, 3, and 4, were prepared using designed precursors in order to investigate the influence of the thickness of the VSe2 constituent on the charge density wave transition found in [1]. The structure of each of the compounds was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning-transmission electron microscopy. The charge density wave transition observed in the resistivity of ([SnSe]1.15)1(VSe2)1 was confirmed and is suppressed as the layer thickness of the VSe2 constituent is increased beyond a single layer. The temperature of the resistivity minimum systematically increases from 118 K (n = 1) to 172 K (n = 3). For n = 1 this temperature correlates with the charge density wave transition temperature. The Hall-coefficient also changes sign when n is greater than 1, reflecting the abrupt difference in electronic properties on increasing the thickness of the VSe2 layer beyond a single layer.
