In a zero field the CDW state is degenerated with respect to spin up and spin down configurations. Magnetique field release degeneration due to Zeeman shift. As a result, Q CDW vector increases while Q decreases Q > Q0 > Q Hence a CDW state with a fixed Q0 tends to be destroyed with field

One can expect the interplay between orbital and Pauli effects at high fields of the scale 2BH ~ kTp. . For NbSe3 with Tp =60K that requires experiments at fields ~50T

Phase diagram. Interplay of orbital and Pauli effects.
Non-monotonic behaviour of Tp(H) is defined by interplay between orbital and Pauli effects on CDW pairing. Orbital effect is realized in improving of nesting condition and, thus, in increase of and Tp, while Zeeman splitting tends to destroy CDW pairing.
Experimental crossover field corresponds to
H 30T, 2BH0 kTp
That is consistent with calculatons of Zanchi, Bjelis, Montambeau PRB 1996 for the case of moderate imperfection parameter (valid for NbSe3)

Field dependence of pseudogap value
No essential field dependence above 25 T
We consider that the big value of the field induced pseudogap is an indication of some collective excitations in graphene at high fields
CONCLUSIONS
1. FIB technique has been adapted for fabrication mesa type structures on various nanomaterials as HTS materials, CDW layered materials and graphite.
2. We found the effect of CDW gap induction by high magnetic field above Peierls transition temperature. We also found non-monotonic dependence of Tp(H) which is interpreted as the interplay between orbital and Pauli effects on CDW ordering.
3. We found interlayer correllative gap in graphite below 25K with energy of 10-15 mV.
4. Using interlayer tunneling we identified in graphite Landau levels typical for Dirac fermions in graphene.
5. We found field induced pseudogap in graphite. The high value of the pseudogap, 150 mV, points out to its possible origin related with collective excitations in graphene.
