We derive the convective terms in the damping which determine the structure of the moving charge-density wave (CDW), and study the effect of a current flowing transverse to conducting chains on the CDW dynamics along the chains. In contrast…
The collective charge density wave (CDW) conduction is modulated by a transverse single-particle current in a transistor-like device. Nonequilibrium conditions in this geometry lead to an exponential reduction of the depinning threshold,…
We show that a normal (single particle) current density $J_x$ {\em transverse} to the ordering wavevector $2k_F{\bf\hat{z}}$ of a charge density wave (CDW) has dramatic effects both above and {\em below} the CDW depinning transition. It…
Charge-density-wave (CDW) is a modulation of the conduction electron density in a conductor. Under low temperature, it can spontaneously happen in some compounds that consist of anisotropic one-dimensional crystal structures, via a strong…
Low-dimensional materials are susceptible to electronic instabilities such as charge density waves (CDWs), originating from a divergence in the Lindhard electron response function, combined with a finite electron-phonon coupling strength.…
We derive equations for the collective CDW-current transverse conducting chains in a quasi-one-dimensional CDW-conductor. Generalized Frohlich relations between the transverse currents and phase gradients are due to the polarization…
We discuss deformation of quasi 1-dimensional conductors with charge-density wave (CDW) under the electric field deforming the CDW. In case of ``strong'' CDW-lattice interaction the effect can be treated in terms of the converse…
Electronic metadevices leveraging sub-wavelength metallic features have shown great potential for high-frequency switching. Theoretical analysis based on a one-dimensional (1D) model indicates that reducing the size of subwavelength…
Charge-density-wave dynamics is studied on a submicron length scale in NbSe_3 and o-TaS_3. Regions of negative absolute resistance are observed in the CDW sliding regime at sufficiently low temperatures. The origin of the negative…
We discuss the first theory for the depinning of low dimensional, incommensurate, charge density waves (CDWs) in the strong electron-phonon (e-p) regime. Arguing that most real CDWs systems invariably develop a gigantic dielectric constant…
We review recent experiments that provide evidence for a transition to a conducting phase in two dimensions at very low electron densities. The nature of this phase is not understood, and is currently the focus of intense theoretical and…
Electrical field arising around an inhomogeneous conductor when an electrical current passes through it is not screened, as distinct from 3D conductors, in low-dimensional conductors. As a result, the electrical field depends on the global…
The physics of a genuine one-dimensional system in which electrons are confined in one direction remains unclear. The actual electronic state of such a genuinely one-dimensional system has not been investigated in previous experiments, for…
We explore a novel transport phenomenon by studying the effect of surface disorder on electron transport through a finite size conductor with side coupled metallic electrodes. In the strong disorder regime the current amplitude increases…
The Kagome material $A{\mathrm{V}}_3{\mathrm{Sb}}_5$ ($A$ = K, Rb, Cs) with geometry frustration hosts non-trivial topological electronic structures, electronic nematicity, charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity, providing an ideal…
We study the dependence of the dimensional character of the charge-density wave (CDW) in TiSe$_2$ by a controlled variation of the number of available charge carriers in the conduction band. A change of dimensionality is realised by H2O…
Incommensurate charge density waves (CDW) have the extraordinary ability to display non-Ohmic behavior when submitted to an external field. The mechanism leading to this non trivial dynamics is still not well understood, although recent…
Through transport, compositional and structural studies, we review the features of the charge-density wave (CDW) conductor of NbS$_{3}$ (phase II). We highlight three central results: 1) In addition to the previously reported CDW…
Electron-lattice coupling effects in low dimensional materials give rise to charge density wave (CDW) order and phase transitions. These phenomena are critical ingredients for superconductivity and predominantly occur in metallic model…
This paper is written as a brief introduction for beginning graduate students. The picture of electron waves moving in a cristalline potential and interacting weakly with each other and with cristalline vibrations suffices to explain the…
