Characterization and manipulation of broken symmetry materials at phase boundaries

摘要

This is the final report of a three-year, Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The ability to control the electronic properties of strongly correlated electronic materials (materials that exhibit electronic structure that is dominated by the lattice nuclei) will include observation and manipulation of phase transitions. Low dimensional materials represent one class in which both charge density wave (CDW) and spin density wave (SDW).
