Abstract

Previous work by the authors indicated the possible existence of charge density waves in PbTe in the presence of strong magnetic fields so that the extreme quantum limit conditions prevail. The present work follows the transition as the field is lowered so that successively higher Landau levels become occupied. The transition persists at increasingly lower temperatures, having a maximum value, T cmax , identifiable with each value, N, of the last (partially) occupied Landau level.
