The High Magnetic Field Phase Diagram of a Quasi-One Dimensional Metal
We present a unique high magnetic field phase of the quasi-one dimensional
organic conductor (TMTSF)ClO. This phase, termed "Q-ClO", is
obtained by rapid thermal quenching to avoid ordering of the ClO anion. The
magnetic field dependent phase of Q-ClO is distinctly different from that
in the extensively studied annealed material. Q-ClO exhibits a spin density
wave (SDW) transition at 5 K which is strongly magnetic field
dependent. This dependence is well described by the theoretical treatment of
Bjelis and Maki. We show that Q-ClO provides a new B-T phase diagram in the
hierarchy of low-dimensional organic metals (one-dimensional towards
two-dimensional), and describe the temperature dependence of the of the quantum
oscillations observed in the SDW phase.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, preprin
