Peierls structural phase transition in 2D systems due to magnetic breakdown
A Peierls superstructure may arise on chains of magnetobreakdown trajectories in 2D conductors. In the case of a well-developed magnetic breakdown, this superstructure will take the form of a sequence of structural phase transitions which are periodic in the reciprocal of the magnetic field. The critical temperature is calculated as a function of the field. Experimental data which qualitatively reproduce the features of this effect are discussed.
