▎ 摘  要

Metallic layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) host collective many-body interactions, including the competing superconducting and charge density wave (CDW) states. Graphene is widely employed as a heteroepitaxial substrate for the growth of TMD layers and as an ohmic contact, where the graphene/TMD heterostructure is naturally formed. The presence of graphene can unpredictably influence the CDW order in 2D CDW conductors. This work reports the CDW transitions of 2H-NbSe(2)layers in graphene/NbSe(2)heterostructures. The evolution of Raman spectra demonstrates that the CDW phase transition temperatures (T-CDW) of NbSe(2)are dramatically decreased when capped by graphene. The induced anomalous short-range CDW state is confirmed by scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. The findings propose a new criterion to determine theT(CDW)through monitoring the line shape of the A(1g)mode. Meanwhile, the 2D band is also discovered as an indicator to observe the CDW transitions. First-principles calculations imply that interfacial electron doping suppresses the CDW states by impeding the lattice distortion of 2H-NbSe2. The extraordinary random CDW lattice suggests deep insight into the formation mechanism of many collective electronic states and possesses great potential in modulating multifunctional devices.
