We have employed high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements to investigate many-body renormalizations of the single-particle excitations in $1T$-TiSe$_2$. The energy distribution curves of the ARPES data reveal intrinsic peak-dip-hump feature, while the electronic dispersion derived from the momentum distribution curves of the data highlights, for the first time, multiple kink structures. These are canonical signatures of a coupling between the electronic degrees of freedom and some Bosonic mode in the system. We demonstrate this using a model calculation of the single-particle spectral function at the presence of an electron-Boson coupling. From the self-energy analysis of our ARPES data, we discern some of the critical energy scales of the involved Bosonic mode, which are $sim$15 and 26 meV. Based on a comparison between these energies and the characteristic energy scales of our Raman scattering data, we identify these Bosonic modes as Raman active breathing (${text{A}}_text{1g}$) and shear (${text{E}}_text{g}$) modes, respectively. Direct observation of the band-renormalization due to electron-phonon coupling increases the possibility that electron-phonon interactions are central to the collective quantum states such as charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity in the compounds based on $1T$-TiSe$_2$.

We report a detailed study of the microscopic effects of Cu intercalation on the charge density wave (CDW) in 1textit{T}-Cu$_x$TiSe$_2$. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) reveal a unique, Cu driven spatial texturing of the char
ge ordered phase, with the appearance of energy dependent CDW patches and sharp $pi$-phase shift domain walls ($pi$DWs). The energy and doping dependencies of the patchwork are directly linked to the inhomogeneous potential landscape due to the Cu intercalants. They imply a CDW gap with unusual features, including a large amplitude, the opening below the Fermi level and a shift to higher binding energy with electron doping. Unlike the patchwork, the $pi$DWs occur independently of the intercalated Cu distribution. They remain atomically sharp throughout the investigated phase diagram and occur both in superconducting and non-superconducting specimen. These results provide unique atomic-scale insight on the CDW ground state, questioning the existence of incommensurate CDW domain walls and contributing to understand its formation mechanism and interplay with superconductivity.
In this study, using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we focus on understanding the native defects in pristine textit{1T}-TiSe$_2$ at the atomic scale. We probe how they perturb the charge density waves (CDWs) and lead to local do
main formation. These defects influence the correlation length of CDWs. We establish a connection between suppression of CDWs, Ti intercalation, and show how this supports the exciton condensation model of CDW formation in textit{1T}-TiSe$_2$.
Our theoretical understanding of heavy-fermion compounds mainly derives from iconic models, such as those due to Kondo or Anderson. While providing invaluable qualitative insight, detailed comparisons to experiments are encumbered by the materials co
mplexity, including the spin-orbit coupling, crystal fields, and ligand hybridizations. Here, we study the paradigmatic Kondo insulator Ce$_3$Bi$_4$Pt$_3$ with a first principles dynamical mean-field method that includes these complications. We find that salient signatures of many-body effects in this material---large effective masses, the insulator-to-metal crossover, the concomitant emergence of Curie-Weiss behaviour and notable transfers of optical spectral weight---are captured quantitatively. With this validation, we elucidate the fabric of the many-body state. In particular, we extent the phenomenology of the Kondo crossover to time-scales of fluctuations: We evidence that spin and charge degrees of freedom each realize two regimes in which fluctuations adhere to vastly different decay laws. We find these regimes to be separated by a {it common} temperature $T^{max}_chi$, linked to the onset of Kondo screening. Interestingly, below (above) $T^{max}_chi$, valence fluctuations become faster (slower) than the dynamical screening of the local moments. Overall, however, spin and charge fluctuations occur on comparable time-scales of $mathcal{O}(0.5-12hbox{ fs})$, placing them on the brink of detection for modern time-resolved probes.
The demonstration of superconductivity in nickelate analogues of high $T_c$ cuprates provides new perspectives on the physics of correlated electron materials. The degree to which the nickelate electronic structure is similar to that of cuprates is a
n important open question. This paper presents results of a comparative study of the many-body electronic structure and theoretical phase diagram of the isostructural materials CaCuO$_2$ and NdNiO$_2$. Important differences include the proximity of the oxygen $2p$ bands to the Fermi level, the bandwidth of the transition metal-derived $3d$ bands, and the presence, in NdNiO$_2$, of both Nd-derived $5d$ states crossing the Fermi level and a van Hove singularity that crosses the Fermi level as the out of plane momentum is varied. The low energy physics of NdNiO$_2$ is found to be that of a single Ni-derived correlated band, with additional accompanying weakly correlated bands of Nd-derived states that dope the Ni-derived band. The effective correlation strength of the Ni-derived $d$-band crossing the Fermi level in NdNiO$_2$ is found to be greater than that of the Cu-derived $d$-band in CaCuO$_2$, but the predicted magnetic transition temperature of NdNiO$_2$ is substantially lower than that of CaCuO$_2$ because of the smaller bandwidth.
Understanding collective electronic states such as superconductivity and charge density waves is pivotal for fundamental science and applications. The layered transition metal dichalcogenide 1T-TiSe2 hosts a unique charge density wave (CDW) phase tra
nsition whose origins are still not fully understood. Here, we present ultrafast time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) measurements complemented by time-resolved reflectivity (TRR) which allows us to establish the contribution of excitonic and electron-phonon interactions to the CDW. We monitor the energy shift of the valence band (VB) and coupling to coherent phonons as a function of laser fluence. The VB shift, directly related to the CDW gap closure, exhibits a markedly slower recovery dynamics at fluences above Fth = 60 microJ cm-2. This observation coincides with a shift in the relative weight of coherently coupled phonons to higher frequency modes in time-resolved reflectivity (TRR), suggesting a phonon bottleneck. Using a rate equation model, the emergence of a high-fluence bottleneck is attributed to an abrupt reduction in coupled phonon damping and an increase in exciton dissociation rate linked to the loss of CDW superlattice phonons. Thus, our work establishes the important role of both excitonic and phononic interactions in the CDW phase transition and the advantage of combining complementary femtosecond techniques to understand the complex interactions in quantum materials.
