In this project, the effects of electron transport due to the Charge Density Wave (CDW) transition will be investigated. Following a review of how CDWs are formed, a review of several publications that discuss possible applications of CDW-based devices, and practical value of CDWs for electo-optical applications will be discussed. Specifically, pristine and Ca-intercalated bilayer graphene will be considered for photodetector and bolometer applications. Using transport formalism developed in class, figures of merit for such devices using CDWs will be discussed quantitatively.
Theory and Identification of CDW
Charge Density Waves(CDWs) occur due to a
reconfiguration of both the electronic and lattice structures as a
result of the interactions of the electrons with both themselves, and
the lattice. Given that a certain amount of coupling between electrons
and phonons exists, the phonon dispersion will undergo a strong change
at lower temperatures. This causes the phonon mode to form a standing
wave, (that is to say, a certain nonzero wavevector of energy zero.)
Consequently, the electron density, which is coupled to the phonon
density, also undergoes oscillations. The CDW state occurs when such a
reconfiguration is energetically preferable.

Theory and Identification of CDW
Even though an exact, overlapping model for CDW occurence from any mechanism, and of any dimensionality is yet elusive, a simple 1D model exists that illustrates the CDW occurence at \(T=0K\). Following the derivation proposed in the work by Rossnagel [1], which closely follows the mean-field theory approach taken by Gruner [2], an electronic susceptibility can be extracted.
