X-ray diffraction study of the metastable charge-density-wave state of K/sub 0. 3/MoO/sub 3/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The charge-density-wave superlattice peak (0,0.25,5.5) was investigated in the blue bronze K/sub 0.3/MoO/sub 3/ at 10 K. The width of the peak is resolution limited for samples cooled in zero field. Application of an electric field of 24 V/cm causes a broadening of the diffraction peak width in directions both parallel and perpendicular to the chain direction b/sup */. The broadening develops on a time scale of --500 sec, and it remains unchanged after the field is removed.
