Charge density wave (CDW) ordering and the mechanism for it remains a live issue, particularly in transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) systems. These are attractive because of both the variety of material properties they are known to host, and their conveniently layered van der Waals structures. The evolution of properties and interactions of these materials when thinned to a monolayer limit remains an area for exploration. In this talk, I present some background on the study of CDW order in bulk and monolayer TMDs. I then discuss some recent results, as well as my own upcoming investigations of TiTe2, utilising molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth and photon energy-dependent angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES).
