The non-equilibrium Peierls transition in thermodynamic unbalanced system — •Pedro Ribeiro¹ and Stefan Kirchner² — ¹Affiliation: CeFEMA, Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa Av.

Spin- and charge density waves are a common phenomenon in condensed matter physics. Charge density waves were predicted by R. Peierls who showed that due to the electron-phonon coupling a one-dimensional lattice may become unstable and undergoes a transition into an ordered. Away from thermal equilibrium, much less is known about this transition. In this talk, we address the fate of this instability under non-equilibrium conditions created by imposing a finite voltage across the system. In particular, we explore the possibility of changing the ordering wave vector away from its equilibrium position by a finite voltage drop across the system.
