Abstract

The voltage dependences of the shear modulus and its associated internal friction of NbSe3 and TaS3 are compared with each other, and with that of the Young's moduli. Much smaller and sharper anomalies are observed at the threshold field for NbSe3 than for TaS3, with considerable changes below threshold in the former. The magnitude of the anomalies in NbSe3 vary with the threshold field. Considerable variation in the behavior of the internal friction, depending on mode and CDW state, is observed.
