Abstract
The (TMTSeF)2 X salts, often known as the Bechgaard salts, have been extensively studied in the past few years because of their superconducting properties1. First discovered under pressure for the PF6 salt2, superconductivity (Sc) was then reported at ambient pressure for the C104 salt3 and later observed for several members of the TMTSeF series around a critical pressure which depends on the anion X,4. Moreover, superconductivity is not the only remarkable property of these compounds: an antiferromagnetic (AF) ground state can also be observed at low temperature5 and structural phase transitions due to anion ordering may be present6.
