Abstract

H₂(pc)I is known to have highly anisotropic electronic and structural properties. Electrical conductivity and magnetoresistance measurements have been performed on high purity H₂(pc)I single crystals ranging from room temperature to 20 mK in magnetic fields up to 5.5 tesla. We have observed abrupt changes in both measurements around 2 K. Conductivity follows a simple quadratic temperature dependence below 2 K and remains metallic (≈10000 ω^-1cm^-1) down to very low temperatures, 20 mK. This phenomenon has not been reported previously in quasi-one dimensional conductors. We suggest that H₂(pc)I experiences an abrupt dimensional crossover from a 1 dimensional regime to a 3 dimensional one below 2 K.
