We present experimental evidence for the glass transition in charge density wave (CDW) superstructure of two quasi one-dimensional systems, o-TaS3 and K0.3MoO3. Low frequency dielectric response of both systems exhibits typical glass-like phenomenology, featuring the splitting of the relaxational spectrum into two processes on decreasing the temperature and the subsequent freezing of primary or a process at finite temperature of glass transition Tg. Below Tg secondary, or β process becomes dominant. Activation energies obtained from the temperature evolution of the characteristic relaxation times of a and β processes correspond to the activation energies of the temperature evolution of the DC conductivity above and below Tg respectively. The results are discussed in respect to the relevant theories of low frequency CDW dynamics, with the emphasis on the Coulomb hardening of CDW in absence of screening by free carriers. An attempt to understand observed differences in freezing of CDW in o-TaS3 and K0.3MoO3 is made.

The correlation length of the charge density wave ordering in Rb0.3, MoO, has been studied by x-ray diffraction under electric field applied along the one-dimensional axis. The (10, 0.25, -5.5) satellite reflection has been measured in 3D, using high Q-resolution available at the ESRF. Under electrical field, the satellite reaches two stable positions depending on the temperature. It can switch from one to another as a function of the temperature and the current with very long relaxation times ($\rm 10^{th}$ of minutes). After several cycling with T and E, the satellite reflection is found to shift in the 3 main directions. The width of the satellite is reduced by a factor of two in the k-direction and an increase of the transverse correlation length is observed in the two others: the ordered domains look elongated, reaching until 5000 Å in the direction of the applied field and around 1OOO Å, in the perpendicular directions.

Low frequency dielectric response of charge density wave systems K0.3MoO3 and o-TaS3 shows hysteresis on temperature cycling. The closing of the hysteresis at low temperature coincides in both systems with the closing of the hysteresis in DC conductivity and corresponds to the temperature of the glass transition observed in dielectric response of these two systems. AC conducitivity is higher on heating, while DC conductivity is lower, i.e. two loops have opposite directions. Higher AC conducitivity (or dielectric response) is a consequence of more corrugated CDW phase on heating.
