Abstract

Stacks of TCNQ − radical ions in 1 : 1 alkali salts are shown to be near the chargedensity- wave (CDW) boundary, where charge degrees of freedom induce strong dimerization δ.Charge-transfer absorption and δ(V ) are obtained for a one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with long-range Coulomb interactions V that ranges from spin-Peierls at V =0 to the CDW boundary at Vc and beyond. Cation dimerization lifts the degeneracy of Peierls systems and confers 3D contributions to the dimerization transition of alkali-TCNQ salts.
