Photoinduced charge density wave phase in 1T-TaS$_2$: growth and coarsening mechanisms

Recent experiments have shown that the high-temperature incommensurate (I) charge density wave (CDW) phase of 1T-TaS$_2$ can be photoinduced from the lower-temperature, nearly commensurate CDW state. In a first step, several independent regions exhibiting I-CDW phase modulations nucleate and grow. A...
