Persistent Currents in Charge-density Wave Systems

Abstract

The inductive exchange of carriers between closed Fermi surface sections subject to Landau quantization and open Fermi surface sections subject to charge-density wave (or spin-density wave) formation is shown to give rise to persistent currents. This mechanism may explain recent experimental data in certain organic conductors in high magnetic fields.
