Charge-density-wave magnetodynamics in NbSe3

Abstract
We report complex ac conductivity measurements of the charge-density-wave (CDW) conductor NbSe3 in applied magnetic (H) fields to 75 kG. Increasing H results in an increase in the characteristic crossover frequency, and an apparent increase in the CDW carrier concentration. A corresponding decrease in the dc threshold field ET with increasing H suggests a breakdown of the conventional impurity-pinning mechanism in intense magnetic fields.
