Charge density waves are wave-like modulations of a material's electron density that display
collective amplitude and phase dynamics. The interaction with atomic impurities induces …

We investigate the dispersion of the charge carrier plasmon in the three prototypical charge-
density wave bearing transition-metal dichalcogenides 2 H-TaSe 2, 2 H-TaS 2, and 2 H …

Charge density waves (CDWs), ie the periodic spatial modulation of coupled electronic and
lattice density, are ubiquitous in low-dimensional conductors and have taken on renewed …

We argue that the hidden order (HO) state in URu 2 Si 2 will induce a charge density wave.
The modulation vector of the charge density wave will be twice that of the hidden order state …

The competition between two different collective states and their interplay are standing
questions in solid-state physics. The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in …

Quasi-one-dimensional metals show a metal-semiconductor transition at a certain
temperature. Below the so-called Peierls temperature, charge-density waves are developing …

Der Ladungstransport in dimensionsreduzierten Festkörpern wird an Hand von 2 Beispielen
diskutiert. Ladungsdichtewellen-Systeme (CDW) zeigen ein charakteristisches …

The puzzling physics of the high-temperature superconducting cuprates has led to many
important questions and investigations regarding the mechanism of high-Tc's. This …

A phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau theory of charge-density waves is presented and
various aspects of the theory are analyzed in detail. The theory yields, in the absence of …
