The electric pulses induced responses of 1T - TaS₂ in the commensurate charge-density-wave phase in the hysteresis temperature region (160 ~ 210 K) have been investigated. We observed an abrupt jump of the resistance excited by pulse, followed by a slow relaxation process in a time scale of ~ 100 s. At a fixed temperature, the various electric pulses can drive the system to multi metastable states. Here, we propose that the spontaneous evolution or slow relaxation of the system by pulse excitations corresponds to the rearrangements of the textures of CCDW domains.
