ABSTRACTA review is given of the wide range of magnetic resonance methods used to study the special properties of quasi onedimensional (1-d) conductors. Specific examples are presented which show how magnetic resonance methods have been exploited (a) to tell if the conduction is 1-d, (b) to locate the conduction electrons on a molecular distance scale, (c) to probe the unusual effects of disorder in 1-d conductors, (d) to study the charge density wave transition, and (e) to verify exotic electrical transport mechanisms, such as charged solitons in trans-(CH)x.

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.

AbstractUnderstanding the competition between superconductivity and other ordered states (such as antiferromagnetic or charge-density-wave (CDW) state) is a central issue in condensed matter physics. The recently discovered layered kagome metal AV3Sb5 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) provides us a new playground to study the interplay of superconductivity and CDW state by involving nontrivial topology of band structures. Here, we conduct high-pressure electrical transport and magnetic susceptibility measurements to study CsV3Sb5 with the highest Tc of 2.7 K in AV3Sb5 family. While the CDW transition is monotonically suppressed by pressure, superconductivity is enhanced with increasing pressure up to P1 ≈ 0.7 GPa, then an unexpected suppression on superconductivity happens until pressure around 1.1 GPa, after that, Tc is enhanced with increasing pressure again. The CDW is completely suppressed at a critical pressure P2 ≈ 2 GPa together with a maximum Tc of about 8 K. In contrast to a common dome-like behavior, the pressure-dependent Tc shows an unexpected double-peak behavior. The unusual suppression of Tc at P1 is concomitant with the rapidly damping of quantum oscillations, sudden enhancement of the residual resistivity and rapid decrease of magnetoresistance. Our discoveries indicate an unusual competition between superconductivity and CDW state in pressurized kagome lattice.
