b' above and below the metal--insulator transitions at 177 K and 39 K respectively. The infrared powder absorption spectra of protonated and deuterated (TMTSF)₂Re0₄ has been measured from 200 cm˗¹ to 2000 cm˗¹. The Kramers-Kronig optical conductivity has been calculated from the reflectivity using Drude extrapolations to high frequency. The results for the conductivity for E
a show a one-dimensional density of states, characteristic of a one-dimensional semiconductor with strong electron-phonon coupling, with the vibrations appearing as resonances below the gap and as antiresonances above. The E
b' conductivity is smaller by almost two orders of magnitude than that for E
a, but displays the same semiconducting behavior. The phonons active in the E
b' polarization appear only as resonances. A normal coordinate analysis has been performed for protonated and deuterated TMTSF⁰ and TMTSF⁺. The results have been used to infer the frequencies of vibration and the deuterium shifts of TMTSF⁺⁰ׄ⁵. The molecular frequencies of vibration have been assigned on the basis of their observed frequencies and optical polarization, as well as their deuterium shifts. Some external phonons have also been assigned. The observation that many of the internal and external vibrations are split is due to the eightfold increase in the size of the unit cell (and subsequent reduction of the Brillouin zone) below the metal-insulator transition. The optical properties of the semiconducting state have been modelled for a one--dimensional molecular conductor with a twofold-commensurate charge-density wave, which accurately reproduces the effects of the lattice dimerization and the potential due to the anion chains. The calculations yield the electron-molecular-vibrational coupling constants for the totally symmetric a[formula omitted] vibrations of the TMTSF molecule. The model also yields a transfer integral of 1400 cm-¹ for both materials and semiconducting energy gaps of 2Δ = 1700 cm˗¹ and 2Δ = 1120 cm˗¹ for (TMTSF)₂ReO₄ and (TMTSF)₂BF₄ respectively. The optical conductivity in the E
b' polarization has been discussed in -terms of a two-dimensional band structure with anisotropic transfer integrals. The band structure calculations show the same general features as the measured spectra.

Full textFor the first time, in the S. D. W. State of the organic conductors (TMTSF)₂ClO₄ and (TMTSF)₂PF₆, the amplitude δ f the order parameter and the nesting vector Q̅ are determined, from a detailed analysis of the methyl proton N. M. R. Line-shape for various magnetic field orientations. In the paramagnetic metallic state, the fast rotational tunneling of the two inequivalent methyl groups splits the line into one central line and two pairs of satellites with shifts depending on field orientation, in good agreement with theory. In the S. D. W. State, the local fields due to the ordered magnetic structure lead to an important broadening of the line. By a careful analysis of the lineshape and its evolution in terms of field orientation, we prove, for both compounds, that the S. D. W. Is incommensurate; we are able to determine the local fields at each methyl site and separate the dipolar contribution from the hyperfine contact term; we deduce both the amplitude δ and wave vector Q̅ of the S. D. W. The amplitude δ = 8% +̠ 2% (in unit μB per molecule) for PF₆ is much larger than previous estimates from N. M. R. Broadening. The b* component of the nesting vector Q̅b = (0. 20 + 0. 05) b̅* (b̅* reciprocal lattice basis vector) for PF₆ is in contradiction with simple theories leading to Q̅b = 0 or Q̅b = 0. 5 b̅* but agrees with the consequences of realistic tight binding band calculations. The Q̅ vector is different in (TMTSF)₂ClO₄, in agreement with the theoretical prediction that Q̅ depends on the nature of anion and experimental conditions like pressure

Full textOrganic metal (TMTSF)₂Cl0₄ displays, at low temperature, a field induced phase transition to a semi-metallic state. This state is characterized by a magnetic field induced spin density wave (MFISDW). As the field is varied, a cascade of transitions occurs between MFISDW phases of distinct spatial periodicities. This behavior rises in the compromise solution between the nesting condition and the Landau levels quantization condition. To satisfy diamagnetic energy minimization, the electronic system keeps the Fermi level in a Landau gap by means of the deformation of the Fermi surface. In order to perform magneto caloric investigations, we developed a very high-performance device particularly adapted to small samples. We have measured the isofield magnetization coefficient in (TMTSF)₂Cl0₄, as a function of the magnetic field. The field was sweeped from 4 to 7 Tesla. In a 375-800 mK temperature range. We give prominence to a new set of transitions in (TMTSF)₂Cl0₄. Then, each MFISDW phase is split in MFISDW subphases. The explanation of this behavior requires a fractional quantization of the nesting vector. The Fermi surface is in fact formed by several pockets of unpaired carriers. By tunneling, the carriers form a larger pocket. As a result of the integer quantization of the magnetic flux through this new pocket, the nesting of the two sheets of the Fermi surface appears to be quantized in a fractional manner. We have performed thermodynamic investigations in (TMTSF)₂Cl0₄ for different ordered states. We propose a new phase diagram for this compound that shows a set of new branches leading to the arborescence of phase transition lines. This treelike structure separates a great number of nested MFISDW sub phases

Full textThe present thesis work, was focusing in particular, on the superconducting state of quasi one dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF)2ClO4. We have determined a new vortex phase diagram of this compound, by interlayer transport measurement, performed under magnetic field applied perpendicular to the layers. Starting from an analysis of the critical current and the superconducting fluctuations, we have demonstrated that the electronic structure of (TMTSF)2ClO4 is three dimensional in nature and the transport along the weakest conductivity axis (c-axis) is very coherent although the coupling is weak in this direction. In the mixed state, the pinning energy in the liquid phase shows a 1/H dependence which corresponds to the plastic bending of the flux line lattice. Finally, we have also studied the effect of the disorder introduced by different thermal cooling rates. Our results show strong modifications on the superconducting parameters

Full textThis thesis presents a study of low temperature behaviour of the lattice of quasi-1D charge transfer organic conductors (TMTSF)2X. For this, we develop a capacitance technique for thermal expansion measurements, which provides a very good precision (10-8 for ∆2/2) on the variation of the lattice parameters along the stacking axis of TMTSF (tetramethyltetraselenofulvalene) molecules. The results obtained on the two compounds (TMTSF)2PF6 and (TMTSF)2ClO4 have been correlated to their physical, electronic and structural properties at low temperature. Especially: - in (TMTSF)2PF6 no anomaly was observed at the metal to magnetic insulator transition at ambient pressure. - In (TMTSF)2ClO4 an extra contraction of the lattice accompanies the anion ordering of ClO4-; this term is proportional to the square of the order parameter deduced from X-ray measurements. A phenomenological Ising 3D analysis (treated first in a mean field approximation and then in a Bethe approximation) has been developed and allows us to estimate quantitatively the physical parameters of the model such as the effective interaction between the ions, its variation with the a-axis lattice constant and the elastic constant at the system along this axis

Full textA metal - Spin Density Wave (SDW) transition occurs in the organic conductor (TMTSF) ₂ClO₄ when a magnetic field is applied. A Landau level quantization connected with an adjustment of the SDW nesting vector accounts for the electronic transport properties. This is a novel situation, for which the Fermi surface can deform itself: As the field is varied, the Fermi level remains above the last fully filled Landau level. This condition cannot be satisfied indefinitely. When the SDW distortion becomes too important, the system minimizes its total energy by decreasing by one unit the number of fully filled Landau levels. This is made at the cost of a nesting vector jump. A phase transition is associated with each jump. The specific heat measurements presented in this thesis help specify the physical mechanism which is responsible for the transitions. In order to perform these measurements, we developed a new nanocalorimètre, with the help of thin film microlithography techniques. The results reveal the existence of several SDW phases. Otherwise the B. C. S. Character of the metal - SDW transition shows that the gap opened at the Fermi level has the same order of magnitude as the critical temperature (TC = 1. 3 K at 61 k Oe)

Full textIn this work, we described the preparation of the first nanoparticles of molecule-based superconductors for which the growth has been controlled by the addition of neutral amphiphilic molecules (such as amines, imines, carboxylic acids). Our study focused on Bechgaard salts (TMTSF)2X (TMTSF: tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene, X = ClO4 or PF6) and (BEDT-TTF)2I3 (BEDT-TTF: bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene). The size, the morphology and the state of dispersion of the nanoparticles have been controlled by the nature and the concentration of the amphiphilic structuring agent. The particles have been characterized by spectroscopic methods (IR, Raman, UV-visible, photoelectron spectroscopy), X-Ray diffraction and microscopy (TEM and AFM). Small particles underwent a transition to a superconducting state, as evidenced by electrical resistivity or magnetic susceptibility measurements. Finally, the thermoelectric power of nano-objects of (BEDT-TTF)2I3 has been evaluated. Preliminary measurements of the thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) make them potential candidates for future organic-based thermoelectric generators

Full textWe have studied the modifications in the behaviour of the electron gas at low temperatures and the ground state of single-chain quasi-1d conductors (TMTSF)2X associated with the presence of non-centrosymmetric anions (X). The ground states can be either insulating (due to the formation of a spin density wave phase or ta the anion ordering), or superconducting, or even metallic. Our study confirms the important role of pressure in establishing the SC ground state and shows the dominant effect of non-magnetic impurities on the mutual stability of SC and AF phases. Applied pressure provides the conditions necessary for SC coupling and transforms staggered anion ordering into an uniform one compatible with the metallic behaviour and the SC ground state. However in those compounds with dipolar anions or in the alloys, the SC ground state is easily suppressed due to the strong random potential along the conducting chains which is created by the anions. Moreover, the degree of order on the anion chains plays a decisive role in the competition between the AF and SC phases: the disorder favours the former, while a uniform order is compatible with the latter. We discuss the extreme sensitivity of the superconductivity ta the presence of non-magnetic defects in the framework of two theoretical models depending on whether the SC ground state is singlet or triplet. However, the proximity of the AF and SC ground states in the phase diagram, as well as the fact that the magnetic susceptibility is almost temperature independent are somewhat more compatible with triplet pairing. Nevertheless, independently of the nature of the SC ground state we conclude that a one-particle approach is too restrictive and that an analysis taking into account cooperative precursor effects is necessary to understand the unusual properties of the SC ground state in the (TMTSF)2X compounds and their alloys

Full textThe discrete self-assembled metal assisted structures are big size edifices which do not crystallize easily and decompose rapidly. Moreover, the resolution of these structures is difficult because of the medium quality of the diffraction data sets. Different crystals selection techniques and a refinement method, applied to the supramolecular cages, are discussed, with a particular focus on the use of the Squeeze program which allows the suppression of the disordered atoms and molecules contributions. Two types of isolated and interlocked cages are structurally described. In the second part, a series of new organic conducting materials based on TMTSF and on TTF derivatives, incorporating a novel fluoro-tantalate anion, is described. The structure-conducting properties relationship is discussed. The first Bechgaard phase with a magnetic anion, namely hexafluororhenate, is described, together with its temperature dependent stability and conducting properties. TMTSF and BEDT-TTF have been associated to several mixed tantalum, rhenium or phosphorous hexafluoro anions to provide new conducting alloys. These syntheses also afforded crystalline materials with original anions. Two methods to estimate the oxydation state of the TMTSF donors are compared for several radical cation salts, either prepared during this PhD work or selected from a crystallographic data base

Full textThe work presented in this thesis deals with the design and the achievement, for the first time at the international level, of an X-Ray diffraction instrumentation (normal beam diffractometer and vertical Weissenberg camera) allowing the coupling of the pressure and temperature constraints, which makes possible the access, from a structural point of view, to any point of a P-T phase diagram. This new apparatus has been successfully used to study the structural behaviour of two organic conductors: (TMTSF)₂ClO₄ and (TSeT)₂Cl. For each of them, the pressure and temperature dependence of the structural parameters has been described in detail, with in particular the determination of the crystal structure at (5 kbar, 7 K). Owing to these crystallographic results, the band structures and the Fermi surfaces have been calculated and some correlations have been established with the physical properties, leading to an explanation of the transitions previously detected

Full textThis thesis focuses on the study by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) of the quasi-one-dimensional charge transfer salts (TMTTF)₂X (X=AsF₆, PF₆, SbF₆), model materials of quantum spin chains. First, we have examined in continuous wave and on a wide range of temperature and frequency, the charge-ordered phase already observed in these materials below the temperature TCO. We have identified two new phenomena at T≺TCO: the rotation of the principal axes of the g factor and a structural change related to a doubling of the unit cell parameter. A quantum chemical calculation was carried out using DFT confirming our experimental results. In the second part of the thesis, we have presented the results obtained by EPR in continuous wave and pulsed wave on the correlated defects study in spin chain systems. In continuous wave, we have detected for the first time a narrow EPR line at low temperature, suggesting the presence of correlated defects having the characteristics of solitons. The pulsed EPR measurements allowed us to observe the first Rabi oscillations of trapped solitons and to determine their robust character. These latter results offer an alternative approach for spin qubits in quantum information processing

Full textA helium gas-pressure system has been tested and then used to investigate the nature of a phase transition from the normal metallic state to an antiferromagnetic spin density wave state in the quasi-one dimensional molecular organic conductor (TMTSF)2PF6. This metallic state superconducts at low temperature and high pressure, in such a way that the insulating antiferromagnetic state competes with the superconducting state. The physics motivation was to examine the possibility of a ¿quantum critical point¿ near the critical pressure of the sample where these latter two states may coexist. The technical motivation was to make the first tests of the pressure system at cryogenic temperatures to ensure that it is the appropriate tool for the planned investigations. Using temperature sweeps at various fixed pressures on a single crystal sample, we were able to obtain several points on the pressure versus temperature phase boundary separating the metallic and SDW states. We have thus verified that the helium gas-pressure system is indeed capable of facilitating these types of experiments, and future measurements will be done at lower temperatures accessing the superconducting state

"Why do TMTs look the way they do? TMT promotion and replacement models." Tulane University, 2011.
Find full textThis study examines promotion and replacement events of top management team members (TMT). I posit that the similarity-attraction paradigm explains promotion and replacement events of TMT members especially when the context is favorable, but its predictive power decays when it is not, because when the context is unfavorable an opposite force makes firms to prefer dissimilar individuals. This counterbalancing force is predicted by resource dependence theory. I argue that both CEOs and TMT officers tend to prefer individuals who are similar to themselves but when the context is unfavorable the strength of the similarity-attraction effect is reduced. Moreover, I theorize that the likelihood of promoting and replacing TMT members depends on officer-CEO similarity and officer-TMT similarity moderated by past firm performance and environmental uncertainty. Additionally, the likelihood of hiring outsiders depends on environmental uncertainty and past firm performance. I tested these arguments with a sample of officers from Fortune's 1000 firms between 1987 and 1999, inclusive. I developed three models using event history analysis for the promotion and replacement of insiders and fixed effects negative binomial regression for outsider succession events. The results show that CEOs are subject to similarity effects. Specifically, officers who are similar to the CEO in terms of age and functional background are preferred over dissimilar officers. I found evidence that the similarity effects are stronger for CEOs than TMTs but also that the similarity effects are very weak in the case of promotions relative to exits. Additionally, there is some evidence for the proposed counterbalancing effect of the environment in the case of exit events; the preference for officers who are similar to the CEO weakens when dynamism is high compared to when it is low. However, in the case of similarity effects related to the TMT there is some evidence indicating that the preference for officers who are similar to the whole TMT increases when uncertainty is high compared to when it is low. Finally, following a resource dependence rationale I found that the number of outsiders appointed by the firm is negatively associated with past firm performance.
