Phase diagram of quarter-filled band organic salts, [EDT-TTF-CONMe2]2X[EDT-TTF-CONMe2]2X, X=AsF6X=AsF6 and Br

An investigation of the P/TP/T phase diagram of the quarter-filled organic conductors, [EDT-TTF-CONMe2]2X[EDT-TTF-CONMe2]2X is reported on the basis of transport and NMR studies of two members, X=AsF6X=AsF6 and Br of the family. The strongly insulating character of these materials in the low pressure regime has been attributed to a very stable charge ordered state confirmed by 13C NMR and the only existence of 1/4 Umklapp e–e scattering favoring charge ordering instead of the 1D Mott localization seen in (TM)2X(TM)2X which are 1/4-filled compounds with dimerization. A nonmagnetic insulating phase instead of the spin density wave state is stabilized in the deconfined regime of the phase diagram. The sequence of phases observed under pressure may be considered as generic for 1/4-filled conductors with correlations.
