The initial formation of the incommensurate CDW is confirmed as being driven by a conventional nesting instability, which is marked by a pseudogap. The magnitude, character, and anisotropy of the 2D-CDW pseudogap bear considerable resemblance to those seen in superconducting cuprates.Transition-Metal DichalcogenidesFermi-Surface2H-Tase2text::journal::journal article::research article
