An analysis of x-ray data from vanadium-doped blue bronze K0.3(Mo1-xVx)O3 is presented for x=2.8% and 1.44%. 2kF satellite reflections are broadened in all the directions and exhibit a peculiar profile asymmetry in the chain direction We interpret this profile asymmetry by the presence of Friedel oscillations around the charged vanadium impurities.

An original interference effect observed in one-dimensional (1D) disordered conductors between X-ray scattering due to the disorder and the charge density wave (CDW)- periodic lattice modulation (PLD) allows to study the pinning of the modulation at local scale. We apply this effect to determine the phase of the CDW at the pinning centres and to show that the response of the CDW to the impurity potential leads to the formation of Friedel oscillations (FO). We report experimental determination and quantitative interpretation of the thermal evolution of both features. The thermal dependence of the interference effect allows one to determine the pinning energy of the 2kF-CDW in the V-and W-doped blue bronzes. We show in particular that in these compounds the regular CDW is pinned to the dopant dressed by its FO. In the organic charge transfer salts irradiation leads to an enhancement of the 2kF and 4kF X-ray scattering that we show, by its thermal dependence, to be due to the formation of FO.

An introduction to X-ray Intensity Fluctuation Spectroscopy (XIFS) is given by describing its relationship to speckle from coherent sources. A brief description of the relationship of XIFS measurements to the underlying equations of motion is given. Preliminary results for the charge density wave (CDW) system NbSe3 are then presented. Static speckle patterns are shown for the $\overrightarrow {Q}_1 = (0 .76$ 0) CDW peak showing that XIFS experiments are possible in this systom provided time constants are long enough. For electrical currents below threshold, a static speckle pattern is observed but for currents above threshold the speckles are smeared out showing movement of the CDW. It is also shown that above threshold, the longitudinal correlation length decreases.
