摘要
Mott transition in the solid solution of 1T-TaSxSe2-x was investigated by the scanning tunneling microscopy/ spectroscopy (STM/STS) at 77 K. For x>1.5, a clear Mott-Hubbard gap structure of similar to 0.5 eV, accompanied with two conductance peaks was observed. In TaS1.2Se0.8, on the other hand, it was found that the gap structure was collapsed. The x dependence of the tunneling spectrum is consistent with time Mott transition picture where time density of states near the Fermi level goes to zero with increasing x.
