Abstract
Layered 1T−TiSe2 has attracted much interest for the competition of charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity in its bulk and even monolayer forms. Here we perform first-principles calculations of the electronic structure, phonon dispersion, and electron-phonon coupling of the Pb-intercalated 1T−TiSe2 in bulk and layered structures. Results show that upon the Pb atom intercalation, the CDW instability in 1T−TiSe2 can be effectively suppressed, accompanied by the removal of the imaginary phonon modes at qM. The Pb 6p orbitals occupy directly at the Fermi level. Both bulk and layered PbTiSe2 are phonon-mediated superconductors, with estimated superconducting temperature Tc to be ∼1.6–3.8 K. The main contribution to the electron-phonon coupling is from the vibrations of Pb and Se atoms and the superconductivity is mainly raised by Pb. The superconducting related physical quantities are found tunable by varying Pb content.
