Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science #15: Nuclear Spectroscopy on Charge Density Wave Systems

by Tilman Butz

Boston Studies in the Philosophy of Science #15: Nuclear Spectroscopy on Charge Density Wave Systems Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), time differential perturbed angular correlations (TDPAC), and the Mössbauer effect (ME) have been applied to the study of charge density wave (CDW) systems. These hyperfine techniques provide unique tools to probe the structure and symmetry of commensurate CDWs, give a clear fingerprint of incommensurate CDWs, and are ideally suited for CDW dynamics. This book represents a new attempt in the series `Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-dimensional Structures' to bring together a consistent group of scientific results obtained by nuclear spectroscopy related to CDW phenomena in pseudo-one- and two-dimensional systems. The individual chapters contain: the theory of CDWs in chain-like transition metal tetrachalcogenides; NMR, NQR, TDPAC, and ME investigations of layered transition metal dichalcogenides; NMR studies of CDW-transport in chain-like NbSe3 and molybdenum bronzes; multinuclear NMR of KCP; high resolution NMR of organic conductors. This book is of interest to graduate students and all scientists who want to acquire a broader knowledge of nuclear spectroscopy techniques applied to CDW systems.

Book News Annotation:

Six advanced studies assemble a set of consistent results obtained by nuclear spectroscopic investigations of charge density wave systems in pseudo one- and two-dimensional systems. Among the topics are the theory of such systems in chain-like transition metal tetrachalcogenides; and investigations of layered transition metal dichaldocenides, molybdenum bronzes, organic conductors, and other materials. Such analysis provides information on the structure and symmetry of commensurate systems, and easily identifies incommensurate ones. Accessible to graduate students and professionals in physics. From a 1989 workshop in Bavaria.
