Abstract
(TMTTF)2AsF6 and
(TMTTF)2SbF6 are both known to undergo a charge ordering phase transition, though their ground states are different. The ground state
of the first is Spin-Peierls, and the second is an
antiferromagnet. We study the effect of pressure on the ground states and the charge-ordering using
13C NMR spectroscopy. The experiments demonstrate that the the CO and SP order parameters are
repulsive, and consequently the AF state is stabilized when the CO order parameter is large, as it is for
(TMTTF)2SbF6. An extension of the well-known temperature/pressure phase diagram is proposed.
Key words. Organic conductors, charge order, spin-Peierls, antiferromagnet, high-pressure
