Abstract

Presented are the results of calculations suggesting that the quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductors (TMTSF)2X (where TMTSF represents tetramethyltetraselenafulvalene and X is PF6 AsF6, ClO4, etc.) may show a substantial increase in their superconducting and spin-density-wave ordering temperatures when the Fermi level is raised through application of an electrostatic gating voltage. A rich behavior is observed, strongly dependent on the form of the superconducting order parameter, as the Fermi level approaches the Van Hove singularity at ka=0. Included are predictions for the behavior of these materials under zero and moderate applied pressure. It is found that TSDW as high as 50K and superconducting Tc as high as 20K may be achieved at optimal gate voltages of approximately 100mV.
