La Tour des Sels de Bechgaard

  • Chapter
The Physics of Organic Superconductors and Conductors

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 110))

The interplay between electronic correlations and dimensionality effects in the Bechgaard salts (TMTSF)2X are manifested in a diversity of ground states, from spin-density wave (SDW) insulator to superconductivity. Of particular interest in this class of materials, known for quasi-one dimensional behavior, are the non-trivial effects of magnetic fields. While pressure destabilizes the SDW in (TMTSF)2PF6 in favor of a superconducting ground state, a magnetic field restores it via a cascade of intermediate field-induced SDW phases. Below the threshold for onset of the field-induced phases, angular magnetoresistance oscillations are used to map the quasi-one dimensional Fermi surface. However, Lebed’s Magic Angle Effect, which associates a set of observations with specific orientations of the magnetic field, remains a conundrum within the framework of standard semi-classical transport and Fermi Liquid theory.
