The effects of irradiation of HMTSF-TCNQ at 21 K

Abstract
We present measurements of HMTSF-TCNQ (hexamethylenetetraselenaful-valenium-tetracyanoquinodimethanide) resistivity along the chain axis, during irradiation at 21 K with fast neutrons (∼ 1 MeV) and heavy ions (∼ 100 MeV). A defect concentration estimated to be 10-3 mole fraction, increases the resistivity at 21 K by a factor of 4. These preliminary results are used to discuss the validity of two very simple radiation damage models : i) three-dimensional percolation, and ii) semi-metal irradiation
