Transport Properties of the Charge-Density-Wave State in K0.30MoO3

Abstract
Transport properties of the charge-density-wave state in K 0.30 MoO 3 are investigated. A thermal hysteresis in the ohmic resistance and an electrical hysteresis in the differential resistance are found. In addition, the temperature dependence of the threshold field E T , above which the charge-density wave is depinned, is found to be different from that reported already. Possible origins of the difference are discussed.
