Interaction between Charge Density Waves in the Monoclinic Phase of NbS3
摘要
In the monoclinic polytype NbS3-II, the monoclinic b-axis of which coincides with the direction of greatest conductivity, two charge density waves (CDWs) have been observed at room temperature: CDW-0 with the wave vector q0 = 0.5a* + 0.352b* + 0.5c* and CDW-1 with the wave vector q1 = 0.5a* + 0.298b* + 0.5c*. X‑ray diffraction patterns obtained in the temperature range of 90–500 K have shown that the vectors q0 and q1 depend on the temperature, but their b* coordinates satisfy the relation
