摘　　要：Domain walls(DWs)in the charge-density-wave(CDW)Mott insulator 1T-TaS_(2)have unique localized states,which play an important role in exploring the electronic properties of the material.However,the electronic states in DWs in 1TTaS_(2)have not been clearly understood,mostly due to the complex structures,phases,and interlayer stacking orders in the DW areas.Here,we explored the electronic states of DWs in the large-area CDW phase and mosaic phase of 1T-TaS_(2)by scanning tunneling spectroscopy.Due to the different densities of DWs,the electronic states of DWs show distinct features in these phases.In the large area CDW phase,both the domain and the DWs(DW1,DW2,DW4)have zero conductance at the Fermi level;while in the mosaic phase,they can be metallic or insulating depending on their environments.In areas with a high density of DWs,some electronic states were observed both on the DWs and within the domains,indicating delocalized states over the whole region.Our work contributes to further understanding of the interplay between CDW and electron correlations in 1T-TaS_(2).
