We have performed transport and ' C NMR measurements on the sulfur-based Bechgaard salt, (TMTTF) 2Br, at different pressures.At low pressures the ground state antiferromagnetism is commensurate with the lattice, while at high pressures many signatures of incommensurate density waves are found. Evidence that the transition, or crossover, between the two regimes is coincident with the suppression of a charge gap induced by coupling of the electronic states to the anion potential is presented.PACS numbers: 75.30.Fv, 72. 15.Nj, 76.60.Cq The Bechgaard salts are a series of compounds with the empirical formula (TMTCF)2X (C = Se, S, X = Re04, PF6, FSO3, etc. ) in which an extraordinarily wide variety of cooperative phenomena are manifested, including superconductivity, spin-density waves, order-disorder transitions, magnetic-field-induced transitions, and charge
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
