Abstract:

We have measured the thermopower and Nernst effects in the quasi-one-dimensional organic molecular metal (TMTSF)2 Cl O4 as a function of temperature and magnetic field strength and orientation. At 10 K this material exhibits a maximum Nernst coefficient of 12 μVKT, one of the largest ever observed in a metal. The thermoelectric effects are very sensitive to the reconstruction of the band structure caused by the Cl O4 anion ordering. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

We have produced the fullerene dimers C(120), C(120)O, and C(120)O(2) by a high-speed vibration milling technique. The thermal stability of C(120), C(120)O, and C(120)O(2) has been studied in the temperature range 150-350 degrees C for up to 4 h under vacuum. The bridging oxygen atoms were found to substantially increase the stability of the fullerene dimer molecules.
