Abstract
The influence of uniaxial pressure along the a-axis on the resistivity along the b-axis of NbSe3 single crystals was investigated. The press ure increases the CDW-transition temperature to near 59 K and suppress es both Peierls gaps. The increase of the pressure leads to enhancemen t of the superconducting transition. The resistance behaviour of NbSe3 -NbSe3 junctions at low pressure reconciles with the Anderson localiza tion mechanism of conductivity.
