Study on the competition between density waves, singlet, and triplet pairing superconductivity in organic conductors (TMTSF) 2X

Abstract

We study the effect of dimerization of TMTSF molecules and the effect of magnetic field (Zeeman splitting) on the phase competition in quasi one-dimensional organic superconductors (TMTSF) 2X by applying the random phase approximation method. As for the dimerization effect, we conclude that due to the decrease of the dimerization, which corresponds to applying the pressure and cooling, spin and charge density wave states are suppressed and give way to a superconducting state. As for the magnetic field effect, we find generally that spin-triplet pairing mediated by a coexistence of 2 k F spin and 2 k F charge fluctuations can be strongly enhanced by applying magnetic field rather than triplet pairing due to a ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. Applying the above idea to (TMTSF) 2X compounds, a magnetic field induced singlet–triplet transition is consistent with above mechanism in (TMTSF) 2ClO 4.
