Re-entrant magnetic-field–induced charge and spin gaps in the coupled dual-chain quasi–one-dimensional organic conductor perylene2[Pt(mnt)2

Abstract

An inductive method is used to follow the magnetic-field–dependent susceptibility of the coupled charge density wave (CDW) and spin-Peierls (SP) ordered state behavior in the dual-chain organic conductor perylene2[Pt(mnt)2]. In addition to the coexisting SP-CDW state phase below 8 K and 20 T, the measurements show that a second spin-gapped phase appears above 20 T that coincides with a field-induced insulating phase. The results support a strong coupling of the CDW and SP order parameters even in high magnetic fields, and provide new insight into the nature of the magnetic susceptibility of dual-chain spin and charge systems.
