Abstract
Low frequency dielectric response of charge density wave systems K
0.3MoO
3
and o-TaS
3 shows hysteresis
on temperature cycling. The closing of the hysteresis at low temperature coincides in both systems with the closing
of the hysteresis in DC conductivity and corresponds to the temperature of the glass transition observed in dielectric
response of these two systems. AC conducitivity is higher on heating, while DC conductivity is lower, i.e. two
loops have opposite directions. Higher AC conducitivity (or dielectric response) is a consequence of more
corrugated CDW phase on heating.
