Abstract
We analyze delayed conduction in three recent models of switching charge-density waves. Each model predicts a power-law dependence of switching delay near threshold: τ∼, where τ is the delay and ɛ==(E-)/ is the normalized distance above the threshold field . Using bifurcation theory, we show that the models of Hall et al. and Mihaly et al. predict τ∼, whereas the model of Strogatz et al. predicts τ∼. These different predictions allow the models to be distinguished experimentally.
