Abstract

1T-TaS2 has been known to undergo Mott transition from nearly commensurate charge density wave (CDW) state to commensurate CDW state at about 200 K. Recently, Fe doping was found to suppress the Mott transition and induce superconductivity. In this study, we report on the scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) study on Fe doped 1T-TaS2 with different Fe concentration. STM observations reveal that the CDW superlattice becomes irregular as increasing Fe concentration. STS measurements uncover the spatial change in the local density of state (LDOS). We find two types of David-star: one has symmetric LDOS with respect to Fermi energy, and the other has asymmetric one. We identify that the asymmetric spectrum is due to an Fe dopant.
