Abstract
Despite abundant experimental work, the origin of the Peierls phase tr ansition in (TaSe4)(2)I remains, as yet, unknown. By taking advantage of the very anisotropic elastic properties of this compound, we propos e a mechanism for the Peierls phase transition in (TaSe4)(2)I, where b oth electronic and elastic degrees of freedom are taken into account.
