Semi-metallic behaviour of HMTSF-TCNQ at low temperatures under pressure

Some results of electrical resistivity (ϱ) and transverse magnetoresistance measurements on single crystals of the charge transfer compound HMTSF-TCNQ under pressure are reported. There is evidence that dϱ/d T remains positive over the whole temperature range under pressure, and that a T 2 law is ob...

Summary:Some results of electrical resistivity (ϱ) and transverse magnetoresistance measurements on single crystals of the charge transfer compound HMTSF-TCNQ under pressure are reported. There is evidence that dϱ/d T remains positive over the whole temperature range under pressure, and that a T 2 law is obeyed from 0.19 to 2 K at 14 kbar. Together with a relatively large magnetoresistance this is an indication of semi-metallic behaviour.
