10 CDW in a magnetic field  Field-induced CDW (FICDW) transitions The “slow oscillations”  appear at P  P c  2.5 kbar  approximately periodic with 1/B SdHo  display a weak hysteresis P = 3 kbar Positions of the FICDW transitions can be fitted with t   0.5 meV [A. Lebed, PRL 2010]

11 CDW in a magnetic field  Field-induced CDW (FICDW) transitions A. Kornilov et al., PRB 2002 FICDW in  -(BEDT-TTF) 2 KHg(SCN) 4 FISDW in (TMTSF) 2 PF 6 A. Lebed, JETP Lett. 2003 FICDW is weaker than FISDW due to the paramagnetic effect!

12 Superconductivity vs. CDW Sample #2: zero resistance but no Meissner! R  (Ohm) R  0 R = 0  Resistance at zero field See also: H. Ito et al., SSC 85 1005 (1993) – inhomogeneous superconductivity at P = 0

13 Superconductivity vs. CDW  Onset of superconductivity

14 The SC onset temperature is 3 times higher in the SC/CDW coexistence region! The SC onset temperature is 3 times higher in the SC/CDW coexistence region! Superconductivity vs. CDW  Onset of superconductivity CDW+SC R = 0 R  0

19 Summary CDW state: rich phase diagram due to the interplay of Pauli paramagnetiorbital competing Pauli paramagnetic and orbital effects of magnetic field SC state: at P < P c : coexists with the CDW state; the SC onset temperature is drastically increased in the coexistence region; at P > P c : bulk SC state with a highly anisotropic H c2 near T c (0) and a clear paramagnetic pair-breaking manifestation of paramagnetic pair-breaking at H // layers.
