Decisive role of electron-phonon coupling for phonon and electron instabilities in transition metal dichalcogenides

The origin of the charge density wave (CDW) in transition metal dichalcogenides has been hotly debated, and no conclusive agreement has been reached. Here, we propose an ab initio framework for an accurate description of both Fermi surface nesting and electron-phonon coupling (EPC) and systematicall...
