Abstract: The evolution of the current-voltage characteristic in K<subscript>0.3</subscript>MoO<subscript>3</subscript> was observed intuitively with the presence of current cycling. No variation of the ohmic conductivity was distinguished, while the threshold field for the charge density waves depinning exhibited distinct enhancement with the current cycling. These results were attributed to the electric field-assisted metastable states' relaxation of the charge density waves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
