Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A Peierls transition far-infrared radiation source comprising a member made of an organic one dimensional metal, means for exerting pressure near the ends of said member in a first direction perpendicular to the said one dimension, and means for creating a potential difference across said member near the ends thereof along said one dimension.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
54 words
A Peierls transition far-infrared radiation source comprising a member made of an organic one dimensional metal, means for exerting pressure near the ends of said member in a first direction perpendicular to the said one dimension, and means for creating a potential difference across said member near the ends thereof along said one dimension.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The source of claim 1 further including means for creating a potential difference along a dimension of said member which is perpendicular to said one dimension and to said first direction.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
13 words
The source of claim 1 wherein said organic one dimensional metal is TTF-TCNQ.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The source of claim 1 wherein said means for exerting a pressure comprise pressure plates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The source of claim 1, which is operated below the Peierls temperature.
