The Prospects of Excitonic Superconductivity

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Physics of Solids and Liquids ((PSLI))

Abstract

The present era of intensive research in the field of one-dimensional conductors that started with the work of the Penn group(1) on TTF-TCNQ was preceded by the discussion of the possibility of superconductivity in one-dimensional organic materials which was suggested by one of us2 in 1964. This suggestion was based on a new mechanism of superconductivity, the so-called exciton mechanism. The term “exciton” applies here broadly to any electronic excitation.
