Abstract

We theoretically determine the Ginzburg-Landau slopes of the anisotropic upper critical magnetic field in a quasi-one-dimensional superconductor and correct the previous works on this issue. By using the experimentally measured values of the Ginzburg-Landau slopes in the superconductor (TMTSF)ClO4, we determine band parameters of its electron spectrum. Our main result is that the so-called quantum dimensional crossover has to happen in this material in magnetic fields, H = 3–8 T, which are much lower than the previously assumed. We discuss how this fact influences metallic and superconducting properties of the (TMTSF)2ClO4.

  20. As shown in [15], the so-called anion gap [3, 4] in the electron spectrum of (TMTSF)2ClO4 is much less than the parameter tb. Therefore, we disregard the anion gap in the electron spectrum (1).
