    Unconventional spin density wave in Bechgaard salt

    No full text
    The quasi–one-dimensional organic conductor Bechgaard salts \chem{(TMTSF)_2}X with \chem{X}=\chem{PF_6}, \chem{ClO_4}, \chem{AsF_6}, etc. are well known for the variety of their ground states: spin density wave (SDW), field-induced spin density wave (FISDW) and triplet superconductivity. We propose here that the unconventional spin density wave (USDW) occupies a large area of the P-B phase diagram, where SDW is suppressed by pressure (P) and superconductivity by magnetic field (B) and FISDW is still absent. USDW describes the striking angular dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) seen in this area of the phase diagram, when the magnetic field is rotated in the c*-bb^{\prime} plane. Also the Lebed resonances are naturally interpreted in terms of the imperfect nesting term

    Conduction anisotropy of the Bechgaard salts

    No full text
    We report the results of a systematic study on the temperature dependence of the normal state conductivity, measured along the a, b', and c* axis, in a representative set of Bechgaard salts. The anisotropic electron transport of four compounds are compared : (TMTSF)2ClO4, (TMTSF)2PF6, (TMTTF)2Br and (TMTTF)2PF6. We analyze the tendency, following this order of the compounds, of the metallic ab' plane conductivity change to a semiconductor like behavior, and we discuss the mechanism of inter- and intra-chain transport. The c*-direction conduction is determined by the nature of the counter-ion and seems to be irrelevant in this comparison

    Non magnetic anion substitution in (TMTSF)<sub>2</sub>ClO<sub>4</sub>: Consequences on the superconductivity

    No full text
    Non magnetic impurities substitution is a method to check the microscopic origin of superconductivity. In (TMTSF)2_{2}ClO4_{4}, we substitute a small fraction of the ClO4_{4} anions by ReO4_{4}. The anion ordering temperature is shown to be unaffected by alloying in the explored range 0-3.1%. However, the critical temperature is strongly reduced with increased residual resistivity obtained through alloying and/or increased speed of cooling. Our results are compatible with an unconventional superconductivity in the Bechgaard salts. Key words. Bechgaard salts – unconventional superconductivity – alloys

    NMR studies of the exotic members of the Bechgaard salts, NO3 and FSO3 salts

    No full text
    1H, 19F and 77Se NMR measurements were performed to investigate the properties of Bechgaard salts, (TMTSF) 2X, with noncentrosymmetric anions, X=NO3 and FSO 3. Single crystal 77Se NMR signal for NO3 salt detects the spin density wave transition. Preliminary analyses of the angular dependence of 1H NMR spectra were also carried out. Spin density wave in the NO3 salt was confirmed to have an incommensurate wave number and relatively small amplitude. 19F and 77Se NMR signals in the FSO3 salt could detect drastic anomaly at the anion ordering temperature. The insulating state was confirmed to be nonmagnetic with a large spin gap of 420 K. © 2003 Published by Elsevier Science B.V

    Observation of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the quasi-one-dimensional Bechgaard salt (TMTSF)2FSO3

    No full text
    The longitudinal magnetoresistance of the unusual Bechgaard salt, (TMTSF)2FSO3, has been studied up to 33 T under various pressures. In this compound, a single series of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation is very pronounced for pressures between 5.2 and 11.8 kbar where the zero-field ground state is superconducting. Unlike the case of the rapid oscillations in most Bechgaard salts, the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the oscillations is in good agreement with the Lifshitz-Kosevich formula, implying the two-dimensional closed orbital motion of the electrons. The effective mass of the electrons and Dingle temperature are estimated as 1.4 ± 0.05 m0 and 1.6-2.4 K, respectively. For an origin of the closed orbits, it is suggested that incomplete nesting between open Fermi surfaces is induced by pressure. Discontinuous change of the frequency, amplitude, and Dingle temperature of the oscillations around 9 kbar indicates that the electronic state below and above this pressure is different. According to the features of the SdH oscillations along with the phase diagram of (TMTSF)2FSO3, the pressure dependence is divided into three regions

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
