Abstract
Phase slip is a process of fundamental importance in charge-density-wave (CDW) systems, allowing addition and removal of CDW phase fronts and conversion between single-particle and CDW current [1]. Here we describe spatially-resolved measurements of CDW structure and transport in NbSe3 that illuminate the mechanisms underlying phase slip and the effects of slip on other CDW phenomena in this material.
