Abstract
At-extremely low temperatures, where the thermal soliton density in the charge-density-wave condensate is negligible, the electrical conductivity is dominated by quantum-mechanical tunneling. The ac as well as dc nonlinear conductivity associated with soliton-antisoliton pair production is calculated.Keywords
