S. Uji et al., PHASE-TRANSITION AND MAGNETORESISTANCE IN A QUASI-ONE-DIMENSIONAL CONDUCTOR (TMET-STF)(2)AU(CN)(2), Synthetic metals, 86(1-3), 1997, pp. 2035-2036
A quasi-one-dimensional conductor (TMET-STF)(2)Au(CN)(2) is isostructu
al to the Bechgaard salt and shows a metal-insulator transition around
16 K (Tc). Tc is almost independent of magnetic field perpendicular t
o the conduction plane up to 13 T. The angular dependent magnetoresist
ance drastically changes in the ac plane at Tc. The metal-insulator tr
ansition is suppressed and superconductivity is induced by the pressur
e of about 6 Kbar. At higher fields than 20 T, the kink behavior is ob
served in the resistance at 6 Kbar. The T-B phase diagram is proposed
at 6 Kbar.
