Se. Brown et al., C-13 NMR MEASUREMENTS OF THE HIGH-MAGNETIC-FIELD, LOW-TEMPERATURE PHASES OF (TMTTF)(2)PF6, Physical review letters, 80(24), 1998, pp. 5429-5432
We report NMR spectroscopy of C-13-labeled TMTTF molecules in high-mag
netic fields that established the field-temperature phase diagram for
(TMTTF)(2)PF6. The dimerized spin-Peierls (D) ground state is driven t
o an incommensurate (I) phase for fields B > B-c = 19.1 +/- 0.1 T. In
the I phase, the staggered component of the magnetization is much larg
er for (TMTTF)(2)PF6 than it is for CuGeO3. On approaching the transit
ion to the D phase from higher temperatures, we observe an unusual bro
adening of the NMR spectrum which is probably from extrinsic sources a
nd related to pinning of solitonlike excitations in individual chains.
