Transport properties of the charge ordering compound
β-Na0.33V2O5 are studied in the temperature range from 30 K to 300 K using
current driven DC conductivity experiments. It is found that below
the metal-insulator transition temperature (
) this
material shows a nonlinear charge density modulation behavior. The
observed conductivity is discussed in terms of a classical domain
model for charge density modulation transport.
