Cooper pairs with broken parity and spin-rotational symmetries in d-wave superconductors.

Paramagnetic effects are shown to result in the appearance of a triplet component of order parameter in a vortex phase of a -wave superconductor in the absence of impurities. This component, which breaks parity and spin-rotational symmetries of Cooper pairs, is expected to be of the order of unity in a number of modern superconductors such as organic, high Tc, and some others. A generic phase diagram of such type-IV superconductors, which are singlet ones at H=0 and in the Meissner phase, and characterized by singlet-triplet mixed Copper pairs Deltas+iDeltat with broken symmetries in a vortex phase, is discussed.

Quantum limit in a parallel magnetic field in layered conductors.

We show that electron wave functions in a quasi-two-dimensional conductor in a parallel magnetic field are always localized on conducting layers. In particular, wave functions and the electron spectrum in a quantum limit, where the sizes of quasiclassical electron orbits are of the order of nanoscale distances between the layers, are determined. ac infrared measurements to investigate Fermi surfaces and to test Fermi-liquid theory in quasi-two-dimensional organic and high-Tc materials in high magnetic fields, H approximately equal 10-45 T, are suggested.

Magic angle effects and angular magnetoresistance oscillations as dimensional crossovers.

Interference effects between velocity and density of states, which occur as electrons move along open orbits in the extended Brillouin zone in anisotropic conductors, result in a change of wave functions' dimensionality at magic angle (MA) directions of a magnetic field. In particular, these 1D-->2D dimensional crossovers result in the appearance of sharp minima in a resistivity component rho perpendicular (H,alpha), perpendicular to conducting layers. This explains the main qualitative features of MA and angular magnetoresistance oscillations' phenomena observed due to the existence of quasi-one-dimensional sheets of Fermi surface in (TMTSF)2X, (DMET-TSeF)2X, and kappa-(ET)2Cu(NCS)(2) conductors.

Interference commensurate oscillations in quasi-one-dimensional conductors.

We suggest an analytical theory to describe angular magnetoresistance oscillations recently discovered in the quasi-one-dimensional conductor (TMTSF)2PF6 [see Phys. Rev. B 57, 7423 (1998)]] and define the positions of the oscillation minima. The origin of these oscillations is related to interference effects resulting from Bragg reflections which occur as electrons move along quasiperiodic and periodic ("commensurate") electron trajectories in the extended Brillouin zone. We reproduce via calculations existing experimental data and predict some novel effects.

Field-induced spin-sensity-wave phases in quasi-one-dimensional conductors: theory versus experiments.

We show that the "quantized nesting" model misses important features of the magnetic-field-induced spin-density-wave (FISDW) phase diagram. Among them are the following: (1) the FISDW wave vector is not strictly quantized; (2) in some compounds, the FISDW diagram consists of two regions: (a) At low temperatures, there are jumps of the wave vector (i.e., the first order transitions between FISDW phases); (b) at high temperatures the jumps and the first order transitions disappear, but the wave vector is still a nontrivial function of a magnetic field. These are in agreement with the experiments on (TMTSF)2PF6.
