Zero-pressure organic superconductor: di-(tetramethyltetraselenafulvalenium)-perchlorate ((TMTSF)/sub 2/ClO/sub 4/)

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Evidence for superconductivity in the organic conductor ((TMTSF)/sub 2/ClO/sub 4/) has been found by resistance measurements in the absence of applied pressure. For different crystals the transitions are approximately 0.3 K wide and are centered around temperatures between 1.2 K and 1.4 K. At 0.9 K a perpendicular magnetic field of 25 mT nearly restores normal resistance. Below 0.1 K this critical field exceeds 50 mT.
