摘要
We report on high temperature (T) studies of conductivity, sigma, of the monoclinic phase of NbS3 (NbS3-II). The compound is shown to be stable up to T similar to 550 K. Threshold non-linear conductivity and Shapiro steps on the I - V curves can be seen up to T-P0 approximate to 450 - 475 K clearly demonstrating sliding of a charge-density wave (CDW). The feature in sigma(T) shows that T-P0 is the temperature of the formation of this CDW. The charges condensed in this CDW show relatively high density and, at the same time, extremely low mobility. Their mobility appears low in the single-particle states as well, giving a plausible clue to the surprising dielectric-like temperature variation of sigma above T-P0. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
