Structural Studies of Phase Transitions in One-Dimensional Conductors

  • Chapter
Crystal Chemistry and Properties of Materials with Quasi-One-Dimensional Structures

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMB,volume 5))

Abstract

This paper attempts to survey the important role played by structural studies in the field of one-dimensional conductors over a little more than ten years. Our aim is by no means to provide a comprehensive review of the vast amount of research which has been devoted to these materials. Neither is it to give an account of the present state of knowledge resulting from the most recent structural results. Instead, we shall try to illustrate the type of information that can be obtained from X-ray, electron, and neutron studies in this class of materials. This requires, first, to recall some basic ideas and to give some information about the structural methods which are used. Then we shall present a collection of representative examples of the structural results obtained on phase transitions, in both organic and inorganic materials. It turns out that, for various reasons, a wider spectrum of quantitative data is available in the class of organic compounds so that our selection is necessarily slightly unbalanced. However, we believe that the properties which are illustrated are, in most cases, sufficiently general to apply to both classes of materials.
