Recent Developments and Comments

摘要: In this concluding chapter we shall attempt to give a brief account of several topics concerning charge-density waves in quasi-one-dimensional conductors that have not been discussed the preceding chapters, make some comments on controversial points raised, and indicate directions for future research. spite large amount experimental theoretical work has done during past few years, there is no general agreement number basic questions. These include nature phase transitions, importance Coulomb interactions between electrons, explanations physical properties, including temperature dependence magnetic susceptibility, infrared optical electron nuclear spin resonance, specific heats, perhaps, most important, role collective excitations transport.
