Growth, crystal structure and transport properties of quasi one-dimensional conductors NbS3

We report synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional conductor NbS3, TEM studies and transport properties of the prepared samples. The grown NbS3 whiskers are Peierls conductors known as phase II with the transitions at TP1=365K and TP2=150K. CDW1 is stable and not so sensitive to growth conditions. It can...

Description
Summary:We report synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional conductor NbS3, TEM studies and transport properties of the prepared samples. The grown NbS3 whiskers are Peierls conductors known as phase II with the transitions at TP1=365K and TP2=150K. CDW1 is stable and not so sensitive to growth conditions. It can slide and be synchronized by the external microwave irradiation up to 16GHz. CDW2 strongly depends on growth conditions. Nevertheless, it also shows sliding and synchronization.
