CDW full form

 What is the full form of CDW?

Answer:

  • Charge Density Wave

What does CDW mean?

A CDW is a static modulation of conduction electrons that is caused by a Fermi surface. It is usually accompanied by a periodic distortion of the lattice, The distortion reduces the solids electronic energy, and the associated strain's energy is more than compensated by the reduction in electronic energy.
