Abstract
We have studied the charge density wave (CDW) transport in the presence of a single-particle current
flowing transversely to the sliding direction of the CDW. The depinning treshold field was found to decrease
exponentially with the transverse current, allowing the CDWs to slide even at very low bias fields. The CDW
transport is ohmic in this novel, nonequilibrium regime. The results from thin NbSe3 crystals are in excellent
agreement with recent theoretical predictions.
