Photoemission on Quasi-One-Dimensional Solids: Peierls, Luttinger & Co.

Charge transport through single molecules, quantum dots and quantum wires

“…A different class of quasi 1d systems are highly anisotropic (chain-like) bulk materials (for a recent review see e.g. [210]). Compared to the first type of systems it is less clear how a single wire of this class can be incorporated as an element in an electronic transport nanodevice and they will thus play a minor role in the present discussion.…”

“…Despite the intense effort (see e.g. [205][206][207][208][209][210]) a commonly accepted experiment which shows LL behavior beyond any doubts is still pending. This has to be contrasted to the situation in quantum dots discussed earlier where the appearance of Kondo physics as a consequence of local correlations has convincingly been shown (see above).…”

Modern History of Organic Conductors: An Overview

“…As studies on organic conductors have progressed, so have the experimental tools/ techniques used to observe electronic behavior; namely, rapid progress has been made in both the variety and specification of these tools, which has provided us with high magnetic fields ; high time-[683-710] (Figure 5), space-, and/or energy-resolutions [365,[711][712][713][714][715][716][717][718][719][720][721]; and high (hydrostatic or uniaxial) pressures [722][723][724][725][726][727][728][729][730][731]. As a result, the term "organic conductor" now includes a wide variety of compounds and components, such as organic polymers, inorganic ions, metal complexes, metal clusters, and organic molecules possessing electrical properties ranging from those of insulators to those of superconductors (depending on the circumstances).…”
