Résumé
Abstract

Nous passons en revue les principaux aspects structuraux et électroniques de l'instabilité Peierls–onde de densité de charge (ODC) observée dans la plupart des conducteurs inorganiques et organiques à une dimension (1D). Nous commençons par replacer la genèse de ces concepts dans une perspective historique. Puis nous présentons les faits expérimentaux à la base de la description générale de ces systèmes 1D couplés électron–phonon développée à partir des années 1970. Dans ce cadre, nous considérerons en particulier l'effet des fluctuations 1D sur les degrés de liberté structuraux et électroniques et le rôle du couplage coulombien inter-chaine dans le mécanisme de stabilisation 3D de la transition de Peierls à température finie. Nous clarifions aussi, en relation avec les données expérimentales, les différentes conditions d'adiabaticité du couplage électron–phonon. Finalement, nous illustrons avec des mesures structurales récentes les travaux pionniers de Jacques Friedel sur l'élasticité et la plasticité des ODC et leur accrochage aux défauts via la formation d'oscillations de Friedel.

We review salient structural and electronic features associated with the concomitant Peierls–charge density wave (CDW) instabilities observed in most one-dimensional (1D) inorganic and organic electronic conductors. First of all, the genesis of these concepts is placed in an historical perspective. We then present basic experimental facts supporting the general description of these 1D electron–phonon coupled systems developed in the 1970s. In this framework we shall consider in particular the role of 1D fluctuations on both lattice and electronic degrees of freedom, and of the inter-chain Coulomb coupling between CDWs in stabilizing in 3D the Peierls transition at finite temperature. We also clarify, in relation with experimental findings, the various conditions of adiabaticity of the electron–phonon coupling. Finally we illustrate by recent structural measurements the pioneering work of Jacques Friedel on CDW elasticity and plasticity and CDW pinning to defects through the appearance of Friedel oscillations.

[54] For a Luttinger liquid of charge and spin velocities, $v_{ρ}$ and $v_{σ}$ respectively, the velocity of the $2 k_{F}$ electron–hole pair excitations is $v_{eh} = \sqrt{v_{ρ} v_{σ}}$ and the velocity of the $4 k_{F}$ electron–hole pair excitations is $v_{eh} = v_{ρ}$ (L. Dumoulin, Thesis, Université de Sherbrooke, Canada, 1997). Theory of the pure Luttinger liquid gives $v_{ρ}$ larger than $v_{F}$ . However, a strong decrease in the collective velocity of charge fluctuations is found in presence of electron–phonon backscattering of momentum transfer $\sim 2 k_{F}$ (J. Voit, H.J. Schulz, Phys. Rev. B 37 (1988) 10068). This goes with an enhancement of the tendency to form a CDW state in presence of this electron–phonon coupling.
