The rare earth tritellurides RTe3 are charge-density-wave (CDW) systems in which the coupling strength can be tuned by substituting different rare earths. By using ultrashort IR pump and UV probe laser pulses, we have performed time resolved angular resolved electron photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) on TbTe3 and have observed the time-resolved closing of the CDW gap in the electronic band structure. To our knowledge, this is the first time-resolved study showing momentum dependent charge dynamics. We will also talk about other results on RTe3 compounds.
