Strain-induced transformation of charge-density waves and mechanical anomalies in the quasi one-dimensional conductors TaS_3 and K_{0.3}MoO_3

S. G. Zybtsev, V. Ya. Pokrovskii

We report studies of low-field conductivity, sigma, of the orthorhombic TaS_3 samples as a function of strain, epsilon. In the Peierls state the sigma(epsilon) dependencies show hy…
