Low température magnetic susceptibility of quasi one-dimensional conductors

Abstract
We report magnetic susceptibility (χs) data from 2.6 to 300 K for ten quasi one-dimensional organic conductors, most of which obey the law χs = AT-α with α ≃ 0.7 below about 20 K. Results for irradiated TTF-TCNQ and other évidence indicate that such behaviour can occur for a small concentration of unpaired spins at the level of 1 % per molecule. This seems to imply that in such materials there is either a long range interaction between localized spins, or that the spins themselves are only weakly localized
