摘要: In this Letter we report the observation, by scanning tunneling microscopy, of a Mott metal to insulator transition at surface 1T-TaSe2. Our spectroscopic data compare considerably well with previous angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements and confirm presence large hysteresis related first order process. The local character technique allows direct visualization symmetry provides on defect-free region sample. It follows that electronic localization is driven purely enhancement charge density wave amplitude which drives bandwidth controlled metal-insulator transition.
