Anomalous Photoconduction of Low-Temperature Charge-Density Wave in Nb-II as a Physical Basis of a Method for Detection of Weak Signals
The effect of IR radiation on photoconduction of two charge-density waves (CDWs) in the monoclinic phase of quasi-1D conductor Nb[S.sub.3] (Nb[S.sub.3]-II) is studied. For the CDW-1 that emerges at a temperature of [T.sub.P1] = 360 K, threshold field [E.sub.t] increases with irradiation power W. For...

Summary: | The effect of IR radiation on photoconduction of two charge-density waves (CDWs) in the monoclinic phase of quasi-1D conductor Nb[S.sub.3] (Nb[S.sub.3]-II) is studied. For the CDW-1 that emerges at a temperature of [T.sub.P1] = 360 K, threshold field [E.sub.t] increases with irradiation power W. For CDW-2 that emerges at a temperature of [T.sub.P2] = 150 K, field [E.sub.t] decreases due to IR irradiation, which proves anomalous character of CDW-2 and indicates direct photoactivation of its sliding. Extremely high sensitivity of the measured signal to IR radiation is obtained using stimulation of the CDW coherence by the microwave field. |
