The announcement in 1979 of the discovery of superconductivity in the quasi-one dimensional (q-1D) organic conductor (TMTSF)2PF6 has been a turning point in the history of the Bechgaard salts family (TMTSF)2X (denoted hereafter as (TM)2X). These compounds, which attracted the attention of physicists and chemists exhibit a variety of electronic states in particular field induced spin density wave (FISDW) phases which are one of the most spectacular features of these materials. Moreover, the proximity of the spin density wave (SDW) and the superconducting (SC) phases in the temperature–pressure phase diagram is a key property of (TM)2X family, which is reminiscent of the high temperature superconductors. Whether there is a competition or a collaboration between these two phases is a question of great interest. Vuletic et al. reported a macroscopic coexistence of SDW and SC domains in (TMTSF)2PF6 which has been confirmed experimentally and interpreted theoretically. However, a proper understanding of the interplay between superconductivity and antiferromagnetism in (TM)2X salts is still lacking.
