Abstract
A study of the effect of magnetic impurities and magnetic field on the purported charge-density-wave (CDW) transition in Nb reveals an intriguing connection between the CDW and the superconducting states. Increasing magnetic impurity concentration results in a reduction of the transition temperature for CDW formation identical to the suppression of the superconducting . A magnetic field, on the other hand, enhances the CDW transition.
