Abstract
An experimental investigation of the thermal hysteresis in the pinned charge-density-wave (CDW) in TaS3 shows that the R vs. T features are independent of the thermal velocity \( \dot{T} \) and acceleration \( \ddot{T} \). The relaxation observed when T is held fixed is either suppressed or dominated by charges induced by a changing T. A technique analogous to ac demagnetisation is used to prepare a state which is observed to be free of relaxation for 8 hours. The disequilibration of the pinned CDW by slight ΔT is then demonstrated. We propose that thermal changes induce stress on the CDW condensate. Release of the stress usually proceeds by spontaneous condensate quakes which occur throughout the length of the sample. Brief discussions of the repinned state, Preisach dynamics and the nature of the quakes are given.
