Persistent currents at fields above 23 Tesla.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:975846
Experimental studies made on organic conducting salts of the composition {alpha}-(BEDT-TTF) 2MHg(SCN)4 (where M = K, Tl and Rb) indicate that they exhibit persistent currents at magnetic fields exceeding 23 T. The presence of currents cannot be explained by the quantum Hall effect, while superconductivity seems unlikely. All indications point towards a new type of dissipationless current flow involving relative gradients in the pinning of a CDW and quantized orbital magnetism.
