- The physics of a genuine one-dimensional system in which electrons are confined in one direction remains unclear. The actual electronic state of such a genuinely one-dimensional system has not been investigated in previous experiments, for they have all been conducted on quasi-one-dimensional specimens, namely in strongly anisotropic bulk crystals. Conventionally, charge-density waves (CDWs) driven by Fermi surface nesting have been considered to appear in one-dimensional electron-lattice systems. However, the CDW transitions actually observed to date have all occurred in quasi-one-dimensional systems and therefore do not directly indicate a genuine one-dimensional electronic state. We investigated, for the first time, isolated single and double-chain NbS$_{3}$ samples using the carbon-nanotube-sheath method and discovered CDWs in both systems. In the single-chain, surprisingly, a $(1/4)b^*$ CDW was observed, in contrast to the $(1/3)b^*$ CDW that has been observed in bulk samples. In the double-chain, the coexistence of a $(1/2)b^*$ dimer structure and a $(1/3)b^*$ CDW was confirmed. This discovery represents a significant advancement in the field of low-dimensional physics, surpassing the limitations of previous studies on bulk systems.
