Abstract
We consider a model in which an electric field induces quantum nucleation of kink-antikink pairs in a charge or spin density wave. Pair nucleation events, prevented by the electrostatic energy below a pair creation threshold, become correlated in time above threshold. The model provides a natural explanation for the observed small density wave displacement below threshold, narrow-band noise, coherent oscillations, and mode-locking at high drift frequencies.
