Abstract

The incommensurate spin-density-wave (SDW) phase in (TMTTF)2_2Br was investigated through transport measurements under pressure and magnetic fields parallel to the cc^{\ast} axis. For the incommensurate SDW phase of (TMTTF)2_2Br stabilized above 0.5 GPa, the SDW transition temperature TSDWT_{\rm SDW} increases with the applied magnetic field. The field dependence of TSDWT_{\rm SDW} is described by a quadratic behavior and the coefficient of the quadratic term increases with increasing pressure. These results are consistent with the prediction of the mean-field theory based on the suppression of the SDW transition by two-dimensionality. From the relation between the coefficient of the quadratic term and TSDWT_{\rm SDW} at zero magnetic field, we determined the role of electron correlation and two dimensionality in the SDW phase of (TMTTF)2_2Br under pressure and found that the SDW transition in (TMTTF)2_2Br can be well explained within the mean field theory by taking into account the reduction of the coupling constant N(0)IN(0)I by pressure.
