Abstract

The relationship between the crystal structure and Fermi surface of the α-(BEDT-TTF)₂MHg(XCN)₄ (M = T1, K, NH₄; X = S, Se) molecular metals is discussed. A simple model to explain the origin of the different dimensionality of the carriers, i.e. one-dimensional (1D) holes but two-dimensional (2D) electrons, is presented.

Funding

E.C. thanks L. Salem for patiently showing him the beauty and strength of simple theoretical models when he was a postdoc in his group and for encouragement and discussions later on. We are grateful to M.-L. Doublet, R.P. Shibaeva and E.B. Yagubskii for previous collaborations concerning the correlation between the crystal and electronic structure of the BEDT-TTF CYp hases. R.R. would like to thank the NSER of Canada for a postgraduate research fellowship. This work was partially supportedb y CICYT (project MAT95103%C02-01) and Generalitat de Catalunya (GRQ93-8044).
