APPLICATIONS OF PULSED MAGNETIC-FIELDS AND LOW-TEMPERATURES TO LOW-DIMENSIONAL (ORGANIC) CONDUCTOR PHYSICS

The advent of user-oriented pulsed magnetic fields combined with low t emperature capability has opened up a new perspective on low-dimension al, and in particular, organic conductor physics. Opportunities includ e: the application of Fermiology methods both below and above the magn etic field induced phase transitions in the density wave materials; th e quest for the quantum limit in bulk low-dimensional materials; and t he search for electron interaction effects in the quasi-one-dimensiona l limit. This paper will focus on several such applications and direct ions in the (BEDT-TTF)(2)MHg(SCN)(4) quasi-two-dimensional and (TMTSF) (2)CIO4 quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors.
