Description

A new pinning mechanism (termed incommensurate) is put forward for K2Pt(CN)4Brsub(0.3)x3.2H2O(KCP) based on the Q-quasi-modulated distribution of the bromine anions (Br-bar) along the chain axis (Q/2 being the Fermi momentum reduced to the first Brillouin zone). The different origins of the direct current (d.c.) thermally-activated gap and optical gap are thereby explained. The spectrum of the collective excitations (amplitudons and phasons) and the dielectric function are calculated for the charge density wave (CDW) state. Fair agreement is obtained with the optical and neutron scattering data. (author)
