description:
	Due to electron-phonon interaction, the phase with uniform charge distribution is unstable toward the formation of charge density wave (CDW) at low temperatures. It is know that the 2H-NbSe2 undergoes a phase transition to CDW at Tp=33.5K. The transition appears to be second-order and involve atomic displacements of &#61523;&#61489; symmetry; this phonon branch is of key importance in the CDW transition and formation. By using the temperature dependent x-ray thermal diffuse scattering technique, the phonon dispersion relations along [&#61562; 0 0] and [&#61562; 0 ½] can be revealed. Besides, Even 2H-NbSe2 undergoes a phase transition of superconductor at Tc=7.2K, the NbSe2 superlattice remains incommensurate to 5k. That might be interesting to reveal the CDW formation and related phonon dispersion near Tc by TDS technique.
