FIELD-INDUCED SPIN-DENSITY WAVES

The Field Induced Spin Density Waves (FISDWs) found in organic conduct ors represent a unique series of transitions which meld the one-dimens ional physics of the Peierls instability with the two-dimensional phys ics of the Quantum Hall Effect. This paper presents a pedagogical intr oduction to the FISDW's in the Bechgaard salts, along with recent expe rimental results on related high magnetic field phenomena.
