Abstract

The magnetic-Field-Induced Spin Density Wave (FI-SDW) is one of the most delicious fruits that the growing field of organic conductors has produced. It has led to the development of a very interesting branch of research encompassing a rich variety of phenomena. The concept of the FI-SDWprovides strong support for the nesting model of SDW and also for the denesting mechanism for the disappearance of SDW under pressure. In this chapter, we first introduce a variety of dramatic phenomena attributed to the magnetic-field-induced SDW. Then, we study the Gor’dov-Lebed’ theory and the related development that explain its appearance as due to the one-dimensionalization of the electron motion under the field. Next, we will discuss FI-SDW from the energetic viewpoint. This demonstrates that the quantization of the orbital motion of current carriers in the k-spacein the vicinity of the SDW gap generates energy gain. This enables the SDW order to be restored, even if this order is destroyed by the deterioration of the Fermi-surface nesting. Some of the very interesting physical properties are obtained in the FI-SDW subphases, specified by the occupancy of the Landau subbands, in good agreement with observations.
