AbstractCrystalline defects can modify quantum interactions in solids, causing unintuitive, even favourable, properties such as quantum Hall effect or superconducting vortex pinning. Here we present another example of this notion—an unexpected unidirectional Kondo scattering in single crystals of 2H-NbS2. This manifests as a pronounced low-temperature enhancement in the out-of-plane resistivity and thermopower below 40 K, hidden for the in-plane charge transport. The anomaly can be suppressed by the c-axis-oriented magnetic field, but is unaffected by field applied along the planes. The magnetic moments originate from layers of 1T-NbS2, which inevitably form during the growth, undergoing a charge-density-wave reconstruction with each superlattice cell (David-star-shaped cluster of Nb atoms) hosting a localised spin. Our results demonstrate the unique and highly anisotropic response of a spontaneously formed Kondo-lattice heterostructure, intercalated in a layered conductor.

This paper provides a brief survey of the experimental and theoretical situation regarding the galvano- and thermomagnetic properties of potassium viewed within the context of the behaviour of other metals. Most of the data are consistent with various sample imperfections as being the major source of the anomalies that are found. However, the precise nature of the imperfections and the mechanism by which the imperfections produce the anomalies are not yet known. It is argued that the recently discovered detailed structure in the high field induced torque of K should be subjected to intensive experimental investigation before drawing any conclusions with regards to the possible presence of a charge density wave; the other magnetotransport properties offer little evidence either for or against such a possibility.

The structural instabilities towards the formation of a charge density wave (CDW) ground state exhibited by several layered Mo and W bronzes and oxides are reviewed. It is shown that in these two-dimensional (2D) metals, including the purple bronzes A x Mo 6 O 17 (A=K, Na, Tl; x≈1), the γ and η phases of MO 4 O 11 and the monophosphate tungsten bronzes with pentagonal tunnels ( PO 2)4 ( WO 3)2m(m=4, 6, 7), the CDW instability can be associated with particular chains of MoO 6 or WO 6 octahedra of the ReO 3 type slabs along which there is a strong overlap of the t 2g orbitals. The CDW critical wave vectors of the purple bronzes, Mo 4 O 11 and the tungsten bronzes with m=4 and 6 lead to a common nesting between differently oriented 1D Fermi surfaces. It is suggested that the anharmonic CDW modulation, which occurs in the tungsten bronzes with m≥7, could be the structural fingerprint of electron localization effects.
