Charge Density Wave / Superconductivity coexistence in TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2

In this thesis, we studied the competition between charge density wave (CDW) and superconductivity in the 1D multiband compound TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2. Resistivity, thermoelectric power and thermal conductivity measurements have been performed under pressure and down to very low temperatures.At low pressure, two charge density waves, detected by X ray measurements and observed in our transverse resistivity measurements, are associated to the 1D bands LUMO and HOMO of the Ni(dmit)2 chains. At 12kbar, the fusion of those two CDWs is associated to the nesting of the LUMO bands with the HOMO ones through the Γ point of the Brillouin zone. At 18 and around 5-6kbar, we observe a commensurability pic due to the commensurate wave vector 2kF=1/3b*.From 2 to 22kbar, we observe a superconductive transition at a critical temperature 0.6K which grow with pressure and is correlated to critical temperature of CDW transition. The superconductivity is associated to the 2D band HOMOII of the Ni(dmit)2 chains. Measurements of the upper critical field gave information about the evolution with pressure of metal-charge density wave regions. They bring out the unconventional nature of the superconductivity and the presence of node in the gap.Thanks to those results, we obtained a more rich Temperature – Pressure phase diagram of the TTF[Ni(dmit)2]2 than the existing one.
