Introduction- pinning Friedel oscillations around
impurity site pin CDW phase domain structure

Friedel
CDW phase bends to minimise pinning energy on two neighbour impurity sites
change of wave vector q~p-ntwo degenerate polarisations around impurity site simplified scheme:
Introduction- response to external field overdamped response two (three) processes
- high T ~ freezes at 40 K determines glass
transition temperature - below 60 K both relaxation times
follow resistivity polarisation change
governed by free carriers?

Introduction- freezing criterionFree carrier number follows activation law

Sample preparation
irradiation by H+ ions sample thickness <10 m 2 MeV, Van der Graaf at IRB mainly just vacancies and
interstitials uniform up to 10 m (range: 30 m) recombination (annealing)?
assumption: number of long living defects is proportional to the number right at the beginning

increases 2 orders of magnitude on interval Tg(ni)
consistent with radiation level!

Discussion - threshold low T part of ET “spoons” detaches from
the most irradiated sample (~e-T/50 K) higher dosage -> higher the crossover
temperature Tcross
exponential ET cross ~ e-Tcross/T0 with T0=18 K same T0 as found for ET(T) bellow 100 K in
pure samples* *Itkis, Nad and Monceau, JPCM 1990

process insensitive to doping level is not governed by the carrier number alone any
more – domain cooperativity slows it down even more?
TG tuned by defect number having one electron per domain activation temperature for ni(TG) is 700 K- follows
electron count n(T)! high T minimum in appears after irradiation pinning resonance increases? at high T- ET insensitive to doping level, at low T it
increases
Conclusions – glass
Attention!
Thank you for your attention!
Low temperature state- Coulomb stiffening prefers constant phase- only local distortions allowed
- CDW chain cut with topological defects (solitons)
- TLS - like - bound e- states at impurity
