Recent experimental studies of electrical conduction in a specially prepared
silver-based material, across which a spark has been passed, are interpreted
through electrical conduction via charge density waves (CDWs) moving in a dc
electric field along quasi-one-dimensional chains of Ag+-ions inside
the branches of the discharge pattern engraved in the material by the spark.
Here we present experimental evidence that the resistance along a number N
of branches connected in parallel increases in quantized steps of height
with increasing voltage applied across the branches
