Abstract
A metal-insulator transition induced by impurity incorporation was observed in TaSe3 and NbSe3 samples. It was found out that the conduction of nanometer-scale thickness TaSe3 samples exhibits behavior expected for one-dimensional electron systems. Thick micrometer-scale NbSe3 samples with impurities introduced by thermal diffusion show a behavior similar to the one observed earlier in nanoscale samples
