Domain walls (DWs) are singularities in an ordered medium that often host exotic phenomena such as charge ordering, insulator-metal transition, or superconductivity. The ability to locally write and erase DWs is highly desirable, as it allows one to design material functionality by patterning DWs in specific configurations. We demonstrate such capability at room temperature in a charge density wave (CDW), a macroscopic condensate of electrons and phonons, in ultrathin 1T-TaS2. A single femtosecond light pulse is shown to locally inject or remove mirror DWs in the CDW condensate, with probabilities tunable by pulse energy and temperature. Using time-resolved electron diffraction, we are able to simultaneously track anti-synchronized CDW amplitude oscillations from both the lattice and the condensate, where photoinjected DWs lead to a red-shifted frequency. Our demonstration of reversible DW manipulation may pave new ways for engineering correlated material systems with light.

At room temperature, the structures of TaTe4 and NbTe4 are modulated by the presence of a charge-density wave which in the former compound is commensurate with the parent lattice and in the latter incommensurate. In addition, a series of incommensurate mixed crystals ( Tal-xNbx )Te4 (0 ≤ x ≤) exist in which the modulation wavevector increases as a function of x. In this paper, we report the occurrence of a systematic variation in the period of the charge-density wave upon substitution of the transition metal elements Ti, Zr or V for either Nb or Ta. Electron diffraction experiments reveal that, in TaTe4, substitutions of Group 4 elements Ti and Zr result in an incommensurate modulation with a decrease in the modulation wavevector q. In NbTe4, substitutions of Ti or Zr also reduce q, in this case towards the commensurate value, and, at sufficiently high concentrations, a commensurate phase is stabilized at room temperature. Vanadium substitutions in NbTe4 result in a slight increase in q. Satellite dark-field images reveal the presence of defects in the modulation structures of the doped crystals. The above results are discussed in terms of the factors which determine the charge-density wave periodicity in the NbTe4-TaTe4 system.
