Fuller, W W

In this dissertation I discuss a variety of anisotropic or quasi-one dimensional materials. NbSe/sub 3/, TTT/sub 2/I/sub 3/, and (SN)/sub x/. The possible ground states, superconductivity or charge density waves, of such materials are discussed. In the case of NbSe/sub 3/ and TTT/sub 2/I/sub 3/ the roles of impurities and/or disorder in stabilizing a given ground state has been studied. The ground states were probed via a variety of transport measurements: resistivity and thermopower among others.
