Measurements of the resistance of single crystals of (Per)2Au(mnt)2 have been made at magnetic fields B of up to 45 T, exceeding the anticipated Pauli paramagnetic limit of Bp≈37  T. The continued presence of nonlinear charge-density wave electrodynamics at B≥37  T establishes the survival of the charge-density wave state above this limit, and the probable emergence of an inhomogeneous phase analogous to that anticipated to occur in superconductors.
