Diminishing in the concentration of quenching defects during thermocycling of orthorhombic TaS3 samples in the temperature range below the Peierls transition temperature T < TP is observed. It makes it possible to study the character of pinning of the charge density wave by these defects. A number of fundamental differences from pinning by ordinary local pinning centers—impurities and point defects—have...
The effect of uniaxial strain on low-temperature conduction and photoconduction of the Peierls conductor orthorhombic TaS3 is studied. A consistent increase in the conductance and photoconductance at T 60 K, was found, contradicting the collisional recombination model, which well describes photoconduction in unstrained samples. The increase in conductance is accompanied by an increase in the threshold...
