Abstract

We report the first direct measurement of the polarization divergence associated with charge-density-wave depinning in K0.3MoO3 at low temperatures. The field-dependent remanent polarization diverges as P(E)=P0(1-E/ET)- with ET the threshold field and the critical exponent <1. We discuss the novel effects associated with the polarization divergence and the inherent difficulties of the analysis.
