Low-temperature magnetoresistance measurements were used to characterize the superconducting state and the electronic structure of the quasi one-dimensional salt (DMET-TSeF) 2 AuI 2. The measurements revealed an essential role of small pressure created by grease molding. The small pressure suppressed the resistance jumps so that the intrinsic properties of the salt were clearly observed. The upper critical fields were determined for all three principal crystallographic directions. In contrast to strain-free samples, slightly pressurized samples show clear angle-dependent magnetoresistance oscillations related to the Fermi surface topology, demonstrating close similarity to the (TMTSF) 2 X salts.
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.
