On the stability of the electronic system in transition metal dichalcogenides

Based on first-principles calculations, we prove that the origin of charge-density wave formation in metallic layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) is not due to an electronic effect, like the Fermi surface (FS) nesting, as it had been proposed. In particular, we consider NbSe2, NbS2, TaSe...
