Angular Magnetoresistance Oscillations in Organic Conductors
ORAL
Abstract
We demonstrate that electron wave functions change their dimensionality at some commensurate directions of a magnetic field (related to the so-called Magic Angles) in conductors with open [quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D)] sheets of Fermi surface. These 1D $\rightarrow$ 2D dimensional crossovers lead to delocalization of wave functions and are responsible for angular magnetoresistance oscillations. As an example, we show that suggested theory is in excellent qualitative and quantitative agreements with the very recent experimental data obtained on (TMTSF)2ClO4 conductor by Heon-Ick Ha and Michael Naughton.
