van der Waals driven anharmonic melting of the 3D charge density wave in VSe2

The nature of the charge density wave transition in VSe2 is still debated. Here, the authors demonstrate that the transition is mainly driven by electron-phonon interactions, despite the presence of the Fermi-surface nesting, and that Wan-der-Waals forces are responsible for melting of the charge de...
