Superconductivity in a synthetic organic conductor (TMTSF)2PF 6

Abstract

Superconductivity has been observed by resistive measurements in the quasi-one dimensional organic conductor di-(tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene)-hexafluorophosphate, (TMTSF)2PF6 under a hydrostatic pressure of 12 kbar with a transition temperature of 0.9 K. The effect of magnetic fields perpendicular to the chain axis is also reported.
