NbSe$_3$ and monoclinic-TaS$_3$ ($m$-TaS$_3$) are quasi-1D metals containing three different types of chains and undergoing two different charge density wave (CDW) Peierls transitions at T$_{P_1}$ and T$_{P_2}$. The nature of these transitions is discussed on the basis of first-principles DFT calculation of their electron-hole Lindhard response function. As a result of stronger inter-chain interactions the Fermi surface (FS) and Lindhard function of NbSe$_3$ are considerably more complex than those for $m$-TaS$_3$; however a common scenario can be put forward to rationalize the results. The intra-chain inter-band nesting processes dominate the strongest response for both type I and type III chains of the two compounds. Two well-defined maxima of the Lindhard response for NbSe$_3$ are found with the (0$a$*, 0$c$*) and (1/2$a$*, 1/2$c$*) transverse components at T$_{P_1}$ and T$_{P_2}$, respectively, whereas the second maximum is not observed for $m$-TaS$_3$ at T$_{P2}$. Analysis of the different inter-chain coupling mechanisms leads to the conclusion that FS nesting effects are only relevant to set the transverse $a$* components in NbSe$_3$. For the transverse coupling along $c$* in NbSe$_3$ and along both $a$* and $c$* for $m$-TaS$_3$, one must take into account the strongest inter-chain Coulomb coupling mechanism. Phonon spectrum calculations show the formation of a giant 2$k_F$ Kohn anomaly in $m$-TaS$_3$. All these results support the weak coupling scenario for the Peierls transition of transition metal trichalcogenides.

Photoconduction in the monoclinic phase of quasi-one-dimensional conductor TaS$_3$ has been observed at $T < 70$~K. It was studied jointly with low-temperature ohmic and non-linear dark conduction. The strong sample quality dependence of both photoco
nduction and dark conduction at this temperature region has been observed. Together with a similarity of the main features of the photoconduction characteristic of both monoclinic ({it m-}TaS$_3$) and orthorhombic ({it o-}TaS$_3$) samples the following new peculiarities of photoconduction in {it m-}TaS$_3$ were found: 1) the dependence of the activation energy of photoconduction on temperature, $T$, 2) the change of the recombination mechanism from the linear type to the collisional one at low $T$ with a sample quality growth, 3) the existence of a fine structure of the electric-field dependence of photoconduction. Spectral study gives the Peierls energy gap value $2Delta ^*= 0.18$~eV.
The two charge-density wave (CDW) transitions in NbSe$_3$ %at wave numbers at $bm{q_1}$ and $bm{q_2}$, occurring at the surface were investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on emph{in situ} cleaved $(bm{b},bm{c})$ plane. The temperature d
ependence of first-order CDW satellite spots, obtained from the Fourier transform of the STM images, was measured between 5-140 K to extract the surface critical temperatures (T$_s$). The low T CDW transition occurs at T$_{2s}$=70-75 K, more than 15 K above the bulk T$_{2b}=59$K while at exactly the same wave number. %determined by x-ray diffraction experiments. Plausible mechanism for such an unusually high surface enhancement is a softening of transverse phonon modes involved in the CDW formation.% The large interval of the 2D regime allows to speculate on % %the special Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type of the surface transition expected for this incommensurate CDW. This scenario is checked by extracting the temperature dependence of the order % %parameter correlation functions. The regime of 2D fluctuations is analyzed according to a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type of surface transition, expected for this incommensurate 2D CDW, by extracting the temperature dependence of the order parameter correlation functions.
LiOsO3 is the first experimentally confirmed polar metal. Previous works suggested that the ground state of LiOsO$_3$ is just close to the critical point of metal-insulator transition. In this work the electronic state of LiOsO$_3$ is tuned by epitax
ial biaxial strain, which undergoes the Slater-type metal-insulator transition under tensile strain, i.e., the G-type antiferromagnetism emerges. The underlying mechanism of bandwidth tuning can be extended to its sister compound NaOsO$_3$, which shows an opposite transition from a antiferromagnetic insulator to a nonmagnetic metal under hydrostatic pressure. Our work suggests a feasible route for the manipulation of magnetism and conductivity of polar metal LiOsO$_3$.
Using the metal-insulator transition that takes place as a function of carrier density at the LaAlO$_3$-SrTiO$_3$ interface, oxide diodes have been fabricated with room-temperature breakdown voltages of up to 200 V. With applied voltage, the capacita
nce of the diodes changes by a factor of 150. The diodes are robust and operate at temperatures up to 270 C.
Transition metal dichalcogenides have recently emerged as promising two-dimensional materials with intriguing electronic properties. Existing calculations of intrinsic phonon-limited electronic transport so far have concentrated on the semicondcuctin
g members of this family. In this paper we extend these studies by investigating the influence of electron-phonon coupling on the electronic transport properties and band renormalization of prototype inherent metallic bulk and monolayer TaS$_2$. Based on density functional perturbation theory and semi-classical Boltzmann transport calculations, promising room temperature mobilities and sheet conductances are found, which can compete with other established 2D materials, leaving TaS$_2$ as promising material candidate for transparent conductors or as atomically thin interconnects. Throughout the paper, the electronic and transport properties of TaS$_2$ are compared to those of its isoelectronic counterpart TaSe$_2$ and additional informations to the latter are given. We furthermore comment on the conventional su- perconductivity in TaS$_2$, where no phonon-mediated enhancement of TC in the monolayer compared to the bulk state was found.
