Out-of-equilibrium behavior in CuCl

Abstract The results shown here provide some information about electric field-induced metallic state in CuCl. It is notable that in addition to the applied electric field inducing the transition from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state, the electric field can drive the sample back to the high-resistance state. This means that the metallic state of CuCl is out of equilibrium. In addition, the contribution of the antiferromagnetic fluctuations of Clinoatacamite to the magnetotransport properties of oxidized CuCl is evident.
