(color online) (a) Temperature-dependent Raman spectra of TiSe2. The inset shows the displacement pattern associated with the CDW distortion, for Ti atoms (solid circles), Se atoms above Ti layer (open circles), and Se atoms below Ti layer (shaded circles). Pressure dependence of Raman spectra at T = 3.5 K for Eg CDW mode (b), A1g CDW and Eg optical phonon modes (c), and A1g optical phonon mode (d). The inset of panel (d) shows the pressure dependence of A1g (red circles) and A1g-CDW (blue squares) phonon linewidths (FWHM). Pressure dependence of peak energies (circles) and normalized intensities, I(P)/I(P = 0) (squares) at T = 3.5 K for A1g (e), Eg (f), A1g-CDW (g), and Eg-CDW (h) modes. The hatched lines denote rough boundaries between crystalline CDW, soft CDW, and disordered CDW regimes. Reprinted with permission from Ref. [13], copyright 2003 by the American Physical Society.
