Effects of phase dislocations on the charge density wave dynamics in quasi-one-dimensional conductors

Abstract We report in this letter a numerical simulations study of the effects of phase dislocations on the dynamic properties of charge density waves (CDW) conductors, using the one-dimensional Fukuyama, Lee and Rice (FLR) model for a weakly pinned incommensurate CDW. The results show that the CDW phase dislocations affect the local dynamical properties of CDW.
