Abstract

We have investigated the interference phenomena in NbSe₃ associated with the joint ac and dc driven charge-density waves (CDW). The application of nonsinusoidal periodic drives allows us to compare experiments to computer simulations, and it leads to a transparent qualitative description of the so-called "Shapiro steps" in this system. The results suggest that long time scales associated with the rearrangement of the CDW in the current carrying state are important for a quantitative description of the phenomena observed.
