The Evolution of Electron Dispersion in the Series of Rare-Earth Tritelluride Compounds Obtained from Their Charge-Density-Wave Properties and Susceptibility Calculations

We calculated the electron susceptibility of rare-earth tritelluride compounds RTe<sub>3</sub> as a function of temperature, wave vector, and electron-dispersion parameters. Comparison of the results obtained with the available experimental data on the transition temperature and on the w...

Description
Summary:We calculated the electron susceptibility of rare-earth tritelluride compounds RTe<sub>3</sub> as a function of temperature, wave vector, and electron-dispersion parameters. Comparison of the results obtained with the available experimental data on the transition temperature and on the wave vector of a charge-density wave in these compounds allowed us to predict the values and evolution of electron-dispersion parameters with the variation of the atomic number of rare-earth elements (R).
