Cooperative interplay between impurities and charge density wave in the phase transition of atomic wires
Impurities interact with a charge density wave (CDW) and affect the phase transitions in low-dimensional systems. By using scanning tunneling microscopy, we visualize the interaction between oxygen impurities and the CDW in indium atomic wires on Si(111), a prototypical one-dimensional electronic sy...
