Drastic Suppression of CDW (Charge Density Wave) by Pd Addition in TiSe2

TiSe2 is a known topological semi-metal (TSM) having both the semi-metallic and characters simultaneously along with charge density wave (CDW) at below 200 K. In current short article, we study impact of Pd addition on CDW character possible induction superconductivity low temperatures. Bulk samples Pd0.1TiSe2 are synthesized by solid-state reaction route, which further characterized powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), respectively, for their structural micro-structural details. The vibrational modes being analyzed Raman spectroscopy, showing occurrence A1g Eg modes. pure seen around K in electrical transport measurements terms sharp to metallic transition peak hysteresis cooling/warming cycles not rather near down 2 Although K, seemingly completely suppressed Pd0.1TiSe2. It clear that suppresses drastically. Trials underway induce Pd-added TiSe2. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show primary evidence suppression due an increase states.
