| Peierls' Theorem states that ''a one-dimensional equally spaced chain with one electron per ion is unstable''. It was asserted in the 1930s by [[Rudolf Peierls]]. It can be proven using a simple model of the potential for an electron in a 1-D crystal with lattice spacing a. The periodicity of the crystal creates energy band gaps in the E–k diagram at multiples of the value k = π/a (similar to the result of the [[Particle_in_a_one-dimensional_lattice_(periodic_potential)#Kronig–Penney_model|Kronig–Penney model]], which helps to explain the origin of band gaps in semiconductors). If the ions each contribute one electron, then the band will be half-filled, up to values of k = ±π/2a in the ground state.
| |
| | |
| Imagine a lattice distortion where every other ion moves closer to one neighbor and further away from the other, the unfavourable energy of the long bond between ions is outweighed by the energy gain of the short bond. The period has just doubled from a to 2a. In essence, the proof relies on the fact that doubling the period would introduce new band gaps located at multiples of k = π/2a. This would cause small energy savings, based on the distortion of the bands in the vicinity of the new gaps. Approaching k = π/2a from the left, the distortion due to the introduction of the new band gap will cause the electrons to be at a lower energy than they would be in the perfect crystal. Therefore, this lattice distortion becomes energetically favorable when the energy savings due to the new band gaps outweighs the elastic energy cost of rearranging the ions. Of course, this effect will be noticeable only when the electrons are arranged close to their ground state – in other words, thermal excitation should be minimized. Therefore, the Peierls transition should be seen at low temperature. This is the basic argument for the occurrence of the Peierls transition, sometimes called dimerization.

| == Historical background ==
| |
| | |
| Peierls’ discovery gained experimental backing during the effort to find new superconducting materials. In 1964, Dr. William Little of the Stanford University Department of Physics theorized that a certain class of polymer chains may experience a high T<sub>C</sub> superconducting transition.<ref>{{cite journal | author = W. A. Little | journal = [[Physical Review]] | volume = 134 | year = 1964 | pages = A1416–A1424 | doi = 10.1103/PhysRev.134.A1416 | title = Possibility of Synthesizing an Organic Superconductor | issue = 6A|bibcode = 1964PhRv..134.1416L }}</ref> The basis for his assertion was that the lattice distortions which lead to pairing of electrons in the [[BCS theory]] of [[superconductivity]] could be replaced instead by rearranging the electron density in a series of side chains. This means that now electrons would be responsible for creating the Cooper pairs instead of ions. Because the transition temperature is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass of the charged particle responsible for the distortions, the T<sub>C</sub> should be improved by a corresponding factor:
| |
| | |
| <math>\frac{T}{T_i} = \sqrt{\frac{M_i}{m_e}}</math>
| |
| | |
| The subscript ''i'' represents "ion," while ''e'' represents "electron." The predicted benefit in superconducting transition temperature was therefore a factor of about 300.
| |
| | |
| In the 1970s, various organic materials such as [[Charge-transfer_complex#Electrical_conductivity|TTF-TCNQ]] were synthesized.<ref>{{cite journal | author = P. W. Anderson, P. A. Lee, M. Saitoh | journal = [[Solid State Communications]] | volume = 13 | year = 1973 | pages = 595–598 | doi = 10.1016/S0038-1098(73)80020-1 | title = Remarks on giant conductivity in TTF-TCNQ | bibcode=1973SSCom..13..595A | issue = 5}}</ref> What was found is that these materials underwent an insulating transition rather than a superconducting one. Eventually it was realized that these were the first experimental observations of the Peierls transition. With the introduction of new band gaps after the lattice becomes distorted, electrons must overcome this new energy barrier in order to become free to conduct. The simple model of the Peierls distortion as a rearrangement of ions in a 1-D chain could describe why these materials became insulators rather than superconductors.

| |
| | |
| Peierls predicted that the rearrangement of the ion cores in a Peierls transition would produce periodic fluctuations in the electron density. These are commonly called [[charge density wave]]s, and they are an example of collective charge transport. Several materials systems have verified the existence of these waves. Good candidates are weakly coupled molecular chains, where electrons can move freely along the direction of the chains but motion is restricted perpendicular to the chains. NbSe<sub>3</sub> and K<sub>0.3</sub>MoO<sub>3</sub> are two examples in which charge density waves have been observed at relatively high temperatures of 145K and 180K, respectively.<ref>{{Cite news | last=Thorne | first=Robert | title=Charge-Density-Wave Conductors | magazine=[[Physics Today]] | date = May 1996 | url=http://pages.physics.cornell.edu/~rthorne/thorne_phystod_1996.pdf}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| Furthermore, the 1-D nature of the material causes a breakdown of the [[Fermi liquid]] theory for electron behavior. Therefore, a 1-D conductor should behave as a [[Luttinger liquid]] instead. A Luttinger liquid is a [[Paramagnetism|paramagnetic]] one-dimensional metal without Landau [[Quasiparticle|quasi-particle]] excitations.

| == Research topics ==
| |
| | |
| 1-D metals have been the subject of much research. Here are a few examples of both theoretical and experimental research efforts to illustrate the broad range of topics:
| |
| | |
| * Theory has shown that polymer chains that have been looped and formed into rings undergo a Peierls transition. These rings demonstrate a persistent current and the Peierls distortion can be modified by modulating the magnetic flux through the loop.<ref>{{cite journal | author = S. D. Liang, Y. H. Bai, B.

| |
| | |
| * Density functional theory has been used to calculate the bond length alterations predicted in increasingly long chains of organic oligomers. The selection of which hybrid functional to use is paramount in obtaining an accurate estimate of the bond length alteration caused by Peierls distortions, as some functionals have been shown to overestimate the oscillation while others underestimate it.<ref>{{cite journal | author = D.

| * Gold deposited on a stepped Si(553) surface has shown evidence of two simultaneous Peierls transitions. The lattice period is distorted by factors of 2 and 3, and energy gaps open for nearly 1/2-filled and 1/3-1/4 filled bands. The distortions have been studied and imaged using [[Low-energy electron diffraction|LEED]] and [[Scanning tunneling microscope|STM]], while the energy bands were studied with [[ARPES|ARP]].<ref>{{cite journal | author = J.
