D. Jerome et al., (TM)(2)X ORGANIC SUPERCONDUCTORS - INTERPLAY BETWEEN 1-D CHARGE LOCALIZATION AND HIGHER DIMENSIONALITY CROSS-OVER, Synthetic metals, 70(1-3), 1995, pp. 719-725
A survey of transport and magnetic properties of the (TM)(2)X series t
ogether with a recent investigation in high magnetic fields shows that
the charge localization occurring at low temperature in a 1-D half-fi
lled band is suppressed by the 1-D to 2-D (3-D) cross-over in selenium
compounds. However, a localization around 30 K in the non-ordered pha
se can be reactivated by the application of a high transverse magnetic
field. The intermediate (strong) coupling limit is valid for the spin
degree of freedom whereas the charge is governed by the strength of t
he Umklapp scattering varying by a large factor from sulfur to seleniu
m compounds and under pressure.
