Charge-density waves (CDWs) feature collective excitations. They can, for example, be observed as an oscillatory collective response of the material's electron system to a fast optical stimulus [1]. On the other hand, scanning probe measurements reveal highly localized interaction with atomic defects [2]. Here we developed an empirical model for one-dimensional CDWs that treats the ultrafast dynamics of a CDW in real space and at the intrinsic time scale of the CDW motion. The model is based on time-dependent Ginzburg Landau Theory and motivated by former approaches [3,4]. Simulations based on this model enable the exploration of 1D CDW systems. We see a strong dependence of the collective mode behaviour on temperature, the impurity constellation and excitation intensity.
