"O rg a n ic Superconductors" by T ishiguro and K Y am aji is a recent publication in the w e ll-k n o w n "S pringer Series in S o lid State S cien ces". Chapter 6 is on DMET and MDT-TTF superconductors. DMET is a hybrid between TMTSF and ET molecular groups and hence interesting. Superconduc tivity in MDT-TTF is more interesting as it is a cross between tw o apparently non-superconducting groups TTF and BMDT-TTF. Chapter 1 is on DHIT salts. These superconductors are ir-anion molecules white the earlier ones have been rr-cation molecules.

Outline of BCS theory, s-, p-, d-pairings and singlet and triplet superconductivity are given w ith notes on Little's models of 1964 and 1983. Next the possibility of superconductivity from spin fluctuations in (TMTSF)*X, for example, is reviewed. That this mechanism is hotly debated for explaining high T, superconductivity has also been noted by the authors. They next explain 9
It was theoretically predicted more that 20 years ago [A.G. Lebed and K. Yamaji, Phys. Rev. Lett. 80, 2697 (1998)] that a triplet quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) superconductor could restore its superconducting state in parallel magnetic fields, which are higher than its upper critical magnetic field, H > Hc2(0). It is very likely that recently such phenomenon has been experimentally discovered in the Q2D superconductor UTe2 by Nicholas Butch, Sheng Ran and their colleagues and has been confirmed by Japanese-French team. We review our previous theoretical results, using such a general method that it describes the reentrant superconductivity in the above mentioned compound as well as will hopefully describe the similar phenomena, which can be discovered in other Q2D superconductors.
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.
