To review the theoretical mechanisms and experimental evidence governing the collective transport and dynamical response of charge-density waves in highly anisotropic materials.
Synthesized experimental data across direct- and alternating-current conductivity, current oscillations, elastic properties, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.
Evaluated classical and quantum-mechanical models describing condensate pinning by impurities and boundaries, depinning thresholds, and translational motion.
Electric fields overcome lattice impurity and boundary pinning, enabling charge-density wave condensates to slide and carry collective current via the Fröhlich mechanism.
Frequency- and electric-field-dependent conductivity and current oscillations provide qualitative and quantitative confirmation of collective condensate translation under combined direct-current and alternating-current fields.
