Abstract
Low dimensional electronic systems have been the object of intensive studies from both the theoretical and experimental points of view. The main reason is that interactions such as the electron-phonon and the electron-electron couplings as well as disorders display enhanced effects when the number of electronic dimensions is restricted. In particular, this is the case of the electron-phonon coupling in one dimensional (1D) conductors which drives the charge density wave-Peierls instability. Its basic physical aspects are now well understood especially thanks to X-ray and neutron scattering studies performed these last 20 years. A brief summary of such investigations is the purpose of the present chapter.
