Abstract
Abstract Due to a low transition temperature and, correspondingly, a small energy gap, the charge-density-wave (CDW) state of the layered organic metal α - ( BEDT - TTF ) 2 KHg ( SCN ) 4 is very sensitive to pressure and magnetic field. The latter couples to the CDW via two competing mechanisms: Pauli paramagnetism and orbital motion of charge carriers in a magnetic field. We study the interplay between the Pauli and orbital effects under a pressure of 2.8 kbar, in the region of the field-induced CDW (FICDW) instability. We find that, in agreement with theoretical predictions, the FICDW state is enhanced when the Zeeman splitting becomes commensurate with the orbital quantization.
