A quantum-mechanical model of quasi-one-dimensional conductors

SYNTHETIC MET 120:1-3 (2001) 1009-1010

Authors:

A Ardavan, J Singleton, SJ Blundell

Abstract:

We present a model of a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) conductor with weak dispersion in the direction perpendicular to the chains in a magnetic field. Finite-energy electric dipole transitions between the eigenstates of the system constitute Fermi-surface traversal resonance, a Q1D analogue of cyclotron resonance. We extend the model to describe a (TMTSF)(2)X-like material, with dispersion in two directions perpendicular to the chains, and find that for certain orientations of the magnetic field large degeneracies occur between the magnetic-field induced states. These are angles at which maxima are observed experimentally in the d.c. conductivity, and thus we explain one class of angle-dependent magnetoresistance oscillations (AMRO) in terms of zero-energy electric dipole transitions between magnetic-field induced states.

Interplane corrugations in the quasi-one-dimensional Fermi surface sections of kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu(SCN)(2)

SYNTHETIC MET 120:1-3 (2001) 953-954

Authors:

E Rzepniewski, RS Edwards, JM Schrama, A Ardavan, J Singleton, M Kurmoo, P Day

Abstract:

We identify two interplane corrugations in the quasi-one-dimensional Fermi surface sections of the organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu(SCN)(2). The warping directions are 17.3 degrees and -19.4 degrees relative to the crystal a* axis.
