Abstract
We review our spatially and temporally resolved studies of charge-density-wave (CDW) phase slip and dynamics in NbSe3. Measurements of the steady-state CDW current, phase slip and strain profiles and their transient evolutions in response to a change in current direction provide a detailed picture of the interplay between elastic deformations and plasticity in this material.
