Collapse of charge order in a quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor with a quarter-filled band

Abstract:
A charge-ordered insulator, (DI-DCNQI)2Ag, with a quasi-one-dimensional quarter-filled band is metallized by pressure. It was found that the charge order melts into a curious metallic state with cubic-temperature dependence of the resistivity, which implies the unprecedented mechanism of the electron-electron scattering. We constructed the pressure-temperature phase diagram, where the melting line has a tricritical point dividing the second-order line at low pressures and the first-order line at high pressures just before it vanishes.

Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two...

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
