Symmetry-mode analysis for local structure investigations using pair distribution function data

Symmetry-adapted distortion modes provide a natural way of describing distorted structures derived from higher-symmetry parent phases. Structural refinements using symmetry-mode amplitudes as fit variables have been used for at least ten years in Rietveld refinements of the average crystal structure from diffraction data; more recently, this approach has also been used for investigations of the local structure using real-space pair distribution function (PDF) data. Here, the value of performing symmetry-mode fits to PDF data is further demonstrated through the successful application of this method to two topical materials: TiSe2, where a subtle but long-range structural distortion driven by the formation of a charge-density wave is detected, and MnTe, where a large but highly localized structural distortion is characterized in terms of symmetry-lowering displacements of the Te atoms. Here, the analysis is performed using fully open-source code within the DiffPy framework via two packages developed for this work: isopydistort, which provides a scriptable interface to the ISODISTORT web application for group theoretical calculations, and isopytools, which converts the ISODISTORT output into a DiffPy-compatible format for subsequent fitting and analysis. These developments expand the potential impact of symmetry-adapted PDF analysis by enabling high-throughput analysis and removing the need for any commercial software.

Photon-induced selenium migration in TiSe 2

TiSe 2 is a member of the transition metal dichalcogenide family of layered van der Waals materials which exhibits some distinct electronic and optical properties. Here, in this work, we perform Raman spectroscopy and microscopy studies on single crystal TiSe 2 to investigate thermal and photon-induced defects associated with diffusion of selenium to the surface. Additional phonon peaks near 250 cm -1 are observed in the laser-irradiated regions that are consistent with formation of amorphous and nanocrystalline selenium on the surface. Temperature dependent studies of the threshold temperature and laser intensity necessary to initiate selenium migration to the surface show an activation barrier for the process of 1.55 eV. The impact of these results on the properties of strongly correlated electron states in TiSe 2 are discussed

Comment on “Chiral Phase Transition in Charge Ordered 1 T - TiSe 2 ”

A previous report of the emergence of chirality for the ( 2 × 2 × 2 ) charge density wave (CDW) in TiSe 2 has attracted much interest; the drastic symmetry breaking is highly unusual with few precedents. In that study, key evidence was provided by x-ray diffraction measurements of two superlattice reflections, (1.5 1.5 0.5) and (2.5 1 0). The (2.5 1 0) reflection appeared to show an anomalously large intensity and a transition onset at ~7 K below that of the (1.5 1.5 0.5) reflection. These observations, aided by modeling, were cited as evidence for a separate chiral transition. Here, we show that the prior conclusions based on x-ray diffraction are erroneous. There is just one transition, and it is achiral.
