Tunneling mechanism for conversion of conduction electrons into a charge density wave at the interface between a metal and a Peierls insulator
Krive I.V., Rozhavskii A. S. , Rubakov V. A.
The excitation of the current of a charge density wave at the interface between a metal and a Peierls insulator by a tunneling mechanism, as conduction electrons of the metal tunnel into the valence band of the insulator, is analyzed. The probability for the excitation of a current by this mechanism is calculated.
