We report a comparative study of the specific heat, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity of the quasi-two-dimensional purple bronzes Na0.9Mo6O17 and K0.9Mo6O17, with special emphasis on the behavior near their respective charge-density-wave transition temperatures TP. The contrasting beh...
