Abstract

The large charge-transfer anisotropy of quasi-one- and quasi-two-dimensional crystalline organic metals means that magnetoresistance is one of the most powerful tools for probing their bandstructure and interesting phase diagrams. Here we review various magnetoresistance phenomena that are of interest in the investigation of metallic, superconducting and charge-density-wave organic systems.
