Although the problem of a metal in one dimension has long been
known to solid-state physicists, it was not until the synthesis of
real one-dimensional or quasi-one-dimensional systems that this
subject began to attract considerable attention. This has been due
in part to the search for high temperature superconductivity and
the possibility of reaching this goal with quasi-one-dimensional
substances. A period of intense activity began in 1973 with the
report of a measurement of an apparently divergent conduc tivity
peak in TfF-TCNQ. Since then a great deal has been learned about
quasi-one-dimensional conductors. The emphasis now has shifted from
trying to find materials of very high conductivity to the many
interesting problems of physics and chemistry involved. But many
questions remain open and are still under active investigation.
This book gives a review of the experimental as well as theoretical
progress made in this field over the last years. All the chapters
have been written by scientists who have established themselves as
experts in theoreti cal and experimental solid-state physics. The
book is intended to be of use both to students and researchers
entering the field as well as to more advanced physicists. The
wealth of ideas and information it contains ought to be useful to
anyone interested in quasi-one-dimensional systems, organic solids,
or the search for novel conduction and superconduction mechanisms.
The editors are very grateful to the authors for their
collaboration in this book."
