a b s t r a c t We report synthesis of quasi-one-dimensional conductor NbS 3 , TEM studies and transport properties of the prepared samples. The grown NbS 3 whiskers are Peierls conductors known as phase II with the transitions at T P1 ¼ 365 K and T P2 ¼ 150 K. CDW1 is stable and not so sensitive to growth conditions. It can slide and be synchronized by the external microwave irradiation up to 16 GHz. CDW2 strongly depends on growth conditions. Nevertheless, it also shows sliding and synchronization. & 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
