Microscopic Modeling of the Charge-Density-Waves in the Rare-Earth Tritellurides

Despite being arguably the simplest and best characterized quasi-2D charge-density-wave (CDW) systems, the rare-earth tritellurides ($R$Te$_3$) continue to yield surprising experimental results, including recent evidence suggestive of mirror-symmetry breaking associated with the onset of CDW order. Motivated by this, w...
