Abstract Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) gained widespread attention because of their electron-correlation-related physics, such as charge density wave (CDW), superconductivity, etc. In this paper, we report the high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies on the electronic structure of Ti-doped -TiTaS with different doping levels. We observe a flat band that originates from the formation of the star of David super-cell at the % sample at the low temperature. With the increasing Ti doping levels, the flat band vanishes in the % sample due to the extra hole carrier. We also find the band shift and variation of the CDW gap caused by the Ti-doping. Meanwhile, the band folding positions and the CDW vector are intact. Our ARPES results suggest that the localized flat band and the correlation effect in the -TMDCs could be tuned by changing the filling factor through the doping electron or hole carriers. The Ti-doped -TiTaS provides a platform to fine-tune the electronic structure evolution and a new insight into the strongly correlated physics in the TMDC materials.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
