要　旨　：
Amplitude charge density wave (CDW) excitations in rare earth tritellurides (RTe3) were probed by Raman scattering and femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. However, collective charge phase excitations could not be observed in far-infrared measurements due to screening by the residual metallic component at the Fermi surface. But the phase collective mode is accessible through nonlinear transport properties. We report such nonlinear transport properties in the layered DyTe3 at temperatures below the CDW phase transition, TP = 302K. Conductivity is increasing sharply above a threshold field. Under application of a rf field Shapiro steps are clearly observed. These features demonstrate for the first time CDW sliding in two-dimensional compounds. In collaboration with A. A. Sinchenko (Kotel’nikov Institut, Moscow) and P. Lejay (Institut Neel, Grenoble).
