We present angle-resolved photoemission experiments on 1T-TiSe₂ at temperatures ranging from 13 K to 288 K. The data evidence a dramatic renormalization of the conduction band below 100 K, whose origin can be related to the new potential responsible for the charge density wave phase at low temperature in this system. The renormalization translates into a substantial effective mass...

The charge-density-wave phase transition of 1T-TiSe₂ is studied by angle-resolved photoemission over a wide temperature range. An important chemical-potential shift which strongly evolves with temperature is evidenced. In the framework of the exciton condensate phase, the detailed temperature dependence of the associated order parameter is extracted. Having a mean-field-like behavior at low...
