Abstract

Recently the authors discovered that the suppression of the charge density wave (CDW) ground states by high magnetic fields in the organic conductor series Per2M(mnt)2 is followed by additional high field, CDW-like phases. The purpose of this presentation is to review these compounds, to consider the relevant parameters of the materials that describe the manner in which the CDW ground state may undergo new field induced changes above the Pauli limit.
