We have fabricated a variety of Charge-Density-Wave (CDW) devices using a focused-ion-beam (FIB) process. The FIB is used to etch any desired geometry in crystals, like constrictions, tears, trenches, zigzag patterns etcetera. We have studied the electrical transport of these devices. This study includes: finite size effects (e.g. dependence of the threshold for CDW sliding on the width while maintaining the same thickness of samples), conduction perpendicular to the chains, geometrical effects and CDW junctions. We have found complete mode-locking on CDW constrictions, indicating that the high-quality crystal properties are preserved after FIB processing. This makes the process a useful technique to study submicron CDW dynamics.

Using the low-energy effective field theory scenario combined Abelian bosonization and renormalization-group techniques, we study the Hubbard chain with additional anisotropic nearest-neighbor and isotropic next-nearest-neighbor spin exchanges J and J′ in the weak-coupling regime. The spin correlations are non-critical due to the anisotropic J (Jxy ≠ Jz). The frustrating antiferromagnetic exchange J′ leads to an enhancement of the dimerized phase and induces a long-range charge-density-wave (CDW) phase. For smaller values of J′ (J′ < 2U/3), the quantum phase diagram consists of the insulating spin-density-wave ( SDW xy, SDW z) and bond-charge-density-wave (BCDW) phases and the triplet superconducting ( TS 0, TS ±) phase. For larger J′ (J′ ≥ 2U/3), a finite CDW phase appears. The result shows that the frustrated spin exchange J′ changes the topological structure of the usual t-U-J chain.

By using the bosonization approach and the renormalization group (RG) technique, we study the half-filled band one-dimensional t–U–J model with additional on-bond repulsion (W>0) in the weak-coupling regime. The presence of on-bond repulsion is responsible for realization of a metallic phase in the system, and the phase diagram is strongly controlled by the symmetry of the model. By analyzing the RG flow diagram and comparing order parameters, the phase boundaries are determined and the structure of the phase diagram is clarified. In the case of SU (2) ⊗ SU (2) symmetry, the phase diagram consists of a metallic phase characterized by a Luttinger liquid (LL) and two insulting phases characterized by the degenerate spin-density-wave (SDW) and the bond-charge-density-wave (BCDW). In the SU (2) ⊗ U(1)-symmetric case, the phase diagram contains two metallic phases: a LL and a Luther–Emery phase, and three insulating phases: the transverse SDW ( SDW ±), the longitudinal SDW ( SDW z) and the dimerized BCDW. The insulating charge-density-wave and bond-spin-density-wave (BSDW) phases are always suppressed in the ground state. In addition, the system show a long-ranged order in the BCDW and SDW z phases.
