摘要
The charge-density-wave transition in TiSe2, which results in a commensurate (2 X 2 X 2) superlattice at temperatures below similar to 200 K, presumably involves softening of a zone-boundary phonon mode. For the first time, this phonon-softening behavior has been examined over a wide temperature range by synchroton x-ray thermal diffuse scattering.
