Summary
Charge Density Waves
(CDWs) are
Periodic modulations of electron density
that occur in
Certain conductors
, often leading to a
Rearrangement of the material's atomic lattice
and a
Loss of metallic conductivity
. These waves are a
Quantum Phenomenon
that can be triggered by factors such as
Electron-Phonon Interactions
or the presence of a
Peierls Instability
.
