Abstract

High magnetic field (to 31T) d.c. magnetization measurements on the quasi-one dimensional organic conductor (TMTSF) 2ClO4 yield thermodynamic evidence for the reentrance of a metallic phase from the magnetic field-induced spin density wave state. The H-T phase diagram developed previously from magnetotransport measurements is reproduced from 8 to 26 tesla. The reentrance occurs as a sharp collapse of M(H) to (near) zero magnetization in the high field metal phase. For fields above 27 tesla, deHaas-van Alphen-like oscillations appear, similar to earlier resistance data, as well as other features possibly signifying multiple transitions in the very high field regime.
