Abstract : Charge density waves (CDW) in the second and third Landau levels (LL) are investigated by both non-linear electronic transport and noise. The use of a Corbino geometry ensures that only bulk properties are probed, with no contribution from edge states. Sliding transport of CDWs is revealed by narrow band noise in re-entrant quantum Hall states R2a and R2c of the second LL as well as in pinned CDWs of the third LL. Competition between various phases - stripe, pinned CDW or fractional quantum Hall liquid - in both LL are clearly revealed by combining noise data with maps of conductivity versus magnetic field and bias voltage.
