Evidence of charge density wave transverse pinning by x-ray microdiffraction
Evidence of charge density wave transverse pinning by x-ray microdiffraction
Incommensurate charge density waves (CDW) have the extraordinary ability to display non-Ohmic behavior when submitted to an external field. The mechanism leading to this non trivial dynamics is still not well understood, although recent experimental studies tend to prove that it is due to solitonic transport. Solitons could come from …
