The magnetic field dependence of the threshold electric field in unconventional charge density waves

Abstract

Many experiments suggest that the unidentified low temperature phase (LTP) of alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2KHg(SCN)_4 is most likely unconventional charge density wave (UCDW). To further this identification we present our theoretical study of the threshold electric field of UCDW in a magnetic field. The magnetic field-temperature phase diagram is very similar to those in a d-wave superconductor. We find a rather strong field dependence of the threshold electric field, which should be readily accessible experimentally.
