Pressure-induced structural phase transition in the Bechgaard-Fabre salts
نویسنده
چکیده
The crystal structures of the quasi-one-dimensional organic salts (TMTTF)2PF6 and (TMTSF)2PF6 were studied by pressure-dependent x-ray diffraction up to 10 GPa at room temperature. The unit-cell parameters exhibit a clear anomaly due to a structural phase transition at 8.5 and 5.5 GPa for (TMTTF)2PF6 and (TMTSF)2PF6, respectively.

Structural Aspects of the Bechgaard and Fabre Salts: An Update
We review structural aspects of the Bechgaard and Fabre salts in relationship with their electronic, magnetic and superconducting properties. We emphasize the role of bond and charge modulations of the quarter filled organic stack in the various instabilities and ground states exhibited by these salts. A special consideration is also devoted to the influence of anions and methyl groups in these...
متن کاملPressure-temperature phase diagrams of several (TMTTF)2X compounds : stabilisation of a highly conducting metallic state under pressure in (TMTTF)2Br
2014 Needle axis resistivity measurements on several TMTTF (tetramethyltetrathiafulvalene) salts of the form (TMTTF)2X, with X = Br, ClO4, PF6, are presented for pressures up to 32 kbar. The pressure-temperature phase diagrams of all three materials are similar with the stabilization under pressure of a metallic state to low temperatures (~ 20 K), below which there is a well defined metal-insul...
متن کاملMechanism bridging antiferromagnetism and superconductivity to the Mott insulating state in quasi-one dimensional organic conductors
The pressure dependence of the Mott, spin-density-wave and superconducting instabilities of the metallic state of the Bechgaard and Fabre salts is analyzed using weak coupling scaling theory. We show how the mechanism of quantum interference between pairings in the density-wave and superconducting channels, when combined to the influence of intrachain Umklapp scattering and inter-chain hopping ...
متن کاملDimensional crossover and deconfinement in Bechgaard salts
The Bechgaard salts are made of weakly coupled one dimensional chains. This particular structure gives the possibility to observe in these systems a dimensional crossover between a high temperature (or high energy) one dimensional phase and a two or three dimensional system. Since the filling of the chains is commensurate the system thus undergoes a deconfinement transition from a one dimension...
