Field - induced confinement in ( TMTSF ) 2 ClO 4 under accurately aligned magnetic fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present transport measurements along the least conducting (c) direction of the organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4 performed under an accurately aligned magnetic field in the low temperature regime. The experimental results reveal a two-dimensional confinement of the carriers in the (a,b) planes which is governed by the magnetic field component along the b ′ direction. This 2-D confinement is accompanied by a metal-insulator transition for the c axis resistivity. These data are supported by a quantum mechanical calculation of the transverse transport taking into account in self consistent treatment the effect of the field on the interplane Green function and on the intraplane scattering time.

Anomalous in-plane anisotropy of the onset of superconductivity in (TMTSF)2ClO4.
We report the magnetic-field amplitude and field-angle dependence of the superconducting onset temperature Tconset of the organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4 in magnetic fields H accurately aligned to the conductive ab' plane. We revealed that the rapid increase of the onset fields at low temperatures occurs both for H || b' and H || a, irrespective of the carrier confinement. Moreover, in the ...

Novel electromc properties of Iow-dimensional organic conductors.under high magnetic fields are briefly reviewed and some topical problems are discussed. Magnetic field effects to electron spins and electron orbital motions are discussed in the quasi one-dimensional conductors (RIR2DCNQI)2Cu and (TMTSF)2X and in the quasi two-dimensional conductor (BEDT-TTF)2XHg(SCN)4. Electronic properties in ...
متن کامل0 The High Magnetic Field Phase Diagram of a Quasi - One Dimensional Metal
We present a unique high magnetic field phase of the quasi-one dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF) 2 ClO 4. This phase, termed " Q-ClO 4 " , is obtained by rapid thermal quenching to avoid ordering of the ClO 4 anion. The magnetic field dependent phase of Q-ClO 4 is distinctly different from that in the extensively studied annealed material. Q-ClO 4 exhibits a spin density wave (SDW) transiti...
متن کاملSpecific heat measurements of organic superconductivity in ( TMTSF ) 2 ClO 4
2014 The specific heat of the organic superconductor (TMTSF)2ClO4 has been measured between 0.4 and 2 K. A large anomaly of the electronic contribution at 1.22 K has been attributed to the onset of three-dimensional superconducting order. There is a large magnetic field dependence of the electronic contribution above 1.22 K which is not characteristic of a normal conducting state. The applicati...

We present a heuristic, semiphenomenological model of the anomalous temperature (T) dependence of resistivity ρxx recently observed experimentally in the quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) organic conductors of the (TMTSF)2X family in moderately strong magnetic fields. We suggest that a Q1D conductor behaves like an insulator (dρxx/dT < 0), when its effective dimensionality is one, and like a metal (d...
