Abstract
Abstract We present the first low temperature measurements of thermal expansion and magnetostriction on (TMTSF)2PF6 and (TMTSF)2ClO4. Above 40 K, the thermal expansion of the two salts is very large and follows a quite linear behaviour. Within our sensitivity (Δl/l ∼ 10−8) no anomaly is present at the metal to insulator transition in (TMTSF)2PF6 (T ∼ 14K). In (TMTSF)2ClO4 we clearly observed a contraction of the lattice due to the anion ordering, the relative difference between quench and relax state at 1 K being about 5.10−4.
