Structural Instabilities of One-Dimensional Conductors

  • Chapter
Low-Dimensional Conductors and Superconductors

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 155))

Abstract

For 15 years, structural studies have played a role in the physics of one dimensional (1D) conductors. The reason is that most of these materials exhibit low temperature periodic lattice distortions (PLD) related to instabilities of the 1D electronic gas. The underlying physical mechanism was found by Peierls more than 30 years ago: a 1D metal, of ρ independent electrons per unit cell, is unstable, at T = OK, with respect to a periodic modulation of wave vector 2kF (ρ = 2 × 2kF) opening a gap at ± kF in the electronic structure (fig. 1a). In the Peierls-Fröhlich approach, the electron phonon coupling connects the intrachain displacive modulation and the electronic instability in the formation of a 2kF charge density wave (CDW). But it is conceivable that other interactions of the electron gas, like its Coulomb coupling with orientational or positional (ionic) degrees of freedom, external to the chain, are able to stabilize a 2kF lattice periodicity.

  71. The directions c-b and a-b+c are not equivalent: the anion-anion distance is slightly shorter along \(\overrightarrow c - \overrightarrow b\) than along \(\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c \). In the pseudo spin model of eq (18), applied to the \((\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow c - \overrightarrow b )\) “short contacts” plane for dominant “antiferromagnetic” interactions along a (Ja >0), the configuration (a) corresponds at Jc-b <Ja-b, and the configuration (b) at Jc-b<Ja-b+c. Configurations (a) and (d) are energetically equivalent for Jc-b, = Ja-b-c. In that case, mixing of (a) and(b)configurations, like tnat occuring in the (1/2, 1/4, 0) phase of (TMTSF)2F2PO2 (assuming an A.O.), can occur. The stability of this last phase depends also of the couplings in the \((\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b )\) plane.

Δq and Aq are no longer proportional: Δq = λ Aq + Vq.
