Abstract
We review our spatially and temporally resolved studies of charge-density-w ave (CDW) phase slip and dynamics in NbSe3. Measurements of the steady-stat e CDW current, phase slip and strain profiles and their transient evolution s in response to a change in current direction provide a detailed picture o f the interplay between elastic deformations and plasticity in this materia l.
