Interlayer decoupling, Lebed magic angle magnetoresistance and triplet superconductivity in (TMTSF)(2)PF6

We present transport and NMR studies of the normal and superconducting stat es of (TMTSF)(2)PF6 in precisely aligned magnetic fields. For the normal st ate the anomalous angular dependent magnetoresistance as a function of fiel d and temperature is shown to be reasonably fit as a sum of conductivity co ntributions arising from interchain hopping integrals which are suppressed by a perpendicular magnetic field. In the superconducting state NMR Knight shift measurements support a triplet state as do critical fields which exce ed the Pauli limit by more than a factor of four. An anomalous upward curva ture in H-c2c (Perpendicular to the most conducting planes) is observed for pressures near the critical pressure which separates the SDW and supercond ucting phases.
