Non-linear transport in a commensurate CDW and universal KPZ fluctuation |
 |
Takashi Oka |
| Solitonic excitations (kinks and anti-kinks) dominate the dynamics of a one dimensional commensurate CDW (e.g. polyacetylene) in finite electric fields. In finite temperature, we predict that the dielectric breakdown of such systems shows features characteristic of the KPZ universality class. We also propose (optical) experiments to verify this phenomenon. |
