The study investigates the coexistence of superconductivity and density-wave state in organic superconductors, explaining observed experimental data by considering the finite size and flat needle shape of samples. This analysis provides a way to estimate the volume fraction and typical size of superconducting islands far from the sample surface, and can be applied to various inhomogeneous superconductors, including high-Tc cuprate or Fe-based ones.
We study the coexistence of superconductivity (SC) and density-wave state and reconcile various puzzling experimental data in organic superconductors (TMTSF)(2)PF6 and (TMTSF)(2)ClO4. The anisotropic resistance drop above T-c is qualitatively described by nascent isolated SC islands within a bulk analytical model. However, the observed anisotropic SC onset is explained only when the finite size and flat needle shape of samples is considered. Our results pave a way to estimate the volume fraction and the typical size of SC islands far from the sample surface and apply to many inhomogeneous superconductors, including high-T-c cuprate or Fe-based ones.
