Divergence in the behavior of the charge density wave in RETe3 (RE = rare-earth element) with temperature and RE element.
Comparable changes in the volume of RETe3 materials caused by temperature and RE size have opposite trends to the incommensurate charge density wave modulation. This is unique behavior among all reported charge density wave materials.
