Electrodynamics of Bechgaard Salts: Optical Properties of One-Dimensional Metals

Figure 8

Pressure dependence of the Mott gap energy (full symbols) and the transverse hopping integral (open symbols) for and salts as obtained from the room-temperature data. The upper pressure scale corresponds to and is shifted by 3 GPa with respect to the lower pressure scale for the salt. The dashed line schematically indicates the vanishing of at the point of the deconfinement transition (Pashkin et al. [66]).
