Effects of Irradiation on the Blue Bronzes Ksub(0.30) MoO sub 3 and Rbsub(0.30) MoO sub 3

摘要

The irradiation induced defects act as strong pinning centers at very low defect concentration. The threshold field increases linearly with the defect concentration. The metastable properties are governed by the presence of such defects: a smooth threshold of nonlinearity becomes a switch associated with large hysteresis. The results suggest that deformable CDW (charge density wave) are arranged in domains and trapped in metastable states. (ERA citation 11:020383)
