Surface electronic structure and its one-dimensionality above and below the Fermi level ($E_{\rm F}$) were surveyed on the Bi/GaSb(110)-(2$\times$1) surface hosting quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) Bi chains, using conventional (one-photon) and…

Charge density wave (CDW) ordering in the prototypical low-dimensional compound NbSe3 is reconsidered. We show that the widely accepted CDW model with two incommensurate modulations, q1 = (0,0.241,0) and q2 = (0.5,0.260,0.5), localized on…

It is known that many-body correlations qualitatively modify the properties of a one-dimensional metal. However, for a quasi-one-dimensional metal these correlations are suppressed, at least partially. We study conditions under which the…
