Abstract

We consider the interplay of the elastic pinning and the Anderson localization in the transport properties of a charge-density wave in one dimension, within the framework of the Luttinger model in the limit of strong repulsion. We address a conceptually important issue of which of the two disorder-induced phenomena limits the mobility more effectively. We argue that the interplay of the classical and quantum effects in transport of a very rigid charge-density wave is quite nontrivial: the quantum localization sets in at a temperature much smaller than the pinning temperature, whereas the quantum localization length is much smaller than the pinning length.

Disorder effects on the charge-density waves structure in V- and W-doped blue bronzes: Friedel oscillations and charge-density wave pinning

Journal Article Ravy, S. ; Elkaim, E. ; Rouziere, S. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

We present an x-ray diffuse scattering study of the charge-density wave (CDW) structure in the doped blue bronzes K{sub 0.3}(Mo{sub 1-x}V{sub x})O{sub 3} (x=2.8%), Rb{sub 0.3}(Mo{sub 1-x}V{sub x})O{sub 3} (x=1.44% and 0.28%), and K{sub 0.3}(Mo{sub 1-x}W{sub x})O{sub 3} (x=2%). At low temperature, the {+-}2k{sub F} satellite reflections are broadened in all four compounds, and shifted in V-doped compounds. Moreover, we have observed an intensity asymmetry of the {+-}2k{sub F} satellite reflections relative to the pure compound, and a profile asymmetry of each satellite reflections. We show that both effects, intensity and profile asymmetry, give access to the local properties ofmore »« less

Phase coexistence and pinning of charge density waves by interfaces in chromium

Journal Article Singer, A. ; Patel, S. K. K. ; Uhlíř, V. ; ... - Physical Review B

We study the temperature dependence of the charge density wave (CDW) in a chromium thin film using x-ray diffraction. We exploit the interference between the CDW satellite peaks and Laue oscillations to determine the amplitude, the phase, and the period of the CDW. We find discrete half-integer periods of CDW in the film and switching of the number of periods by one upon cooling/heating with a thermal hysteresis of 20 K. The transition between different CDWperiods occurs over a temperature range of 30 K, slightly larger than the width of the thermal hysteresis. A comparison with simulations shows that themore »« less

Scaling approach to pinning: Charge density waves and giant flux creep in superconductors

Journal Article Nattermann, T. - Physical Review Letters; (USA)

A general scaling approach to pinning and response in weakly disordered systems is developed that considers pinning at arbitrary high energy barriers. These are a consequence of a disordered {ital T}=0 renormalization-group fixed point which characterizes the condensed phase. Application to flux creep in superconductors yields a creep velocity {nu}({ital j}){proportional to}exp{minus}{ital Cj}{sup {minus}{mu}} where {mu} is related to the roughness exponents {zeta} of the flux-line lattice. We argue that {zeta}=0(log) and {mu}=({ital d}{minus}2)/2 as for charge-density waves.
