High-field Magnetoresistive Effects in Reduced-Dimensionality Organic Metals and Superconductors

  • Chapter
The Physics of Organic Superconductors and Conductors

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

The large charge-transfer anisotropy of quasi-one- and quasi-two-dimensional crystalline organic metals means that magnetoresistance is one of the most powerful tools for probing their bandstructure and interesting phase diagrams. Here we review various magnetoresistance phenomena that are of interest in the investigation of metallic, superconducting and charge-density-wave organic systems.

  53. The existence of such a modulation might suggest that a beating between “neck and belly” frequencies would be observed in the dHvA effect [14]; however, in careful low-field studies [54], no such beating has been observed. We shall see that this is because the typical cyclotron energy is rather greater than t ⊥, even at the lowest fields used.

  55. When viewed in the extended zone scheme, the quasi-two-dimensional section of this type of Fermi surface (blue in Fig. ??(c)) is often known as a “coke-bottle” Fermi surface (USA) or a “Cumberland sausage” Fermi surface (Europe). (The latter is a hand-made sausage with weak but approximately regular corrugations.)

  56. This simple discussion deals with an interlayertransfer integral is directed along the normal to the layers. However, most real charge-transfer salts have rather lower symmetry, and it is imperative that the correct direction of the interlayer transfer integral be taken into account; see Ref. [51]
