Abstract

We revisit a recent report on the coexisting phases of a superconductor and a spin density wave (SDW) insulator that were found in a quasi-one-dimensional system, (TMTSF) 2PF 6, in a narrow pressure range between 5.5 - 6.4 kbar. Simultaneous nucleus magnetic resonance (NMR.) and transport measurements confirm that there exits macroscopic domains of SDW and metallic/superconducting regions with one having little influence on the other resulting strong hysteretic effects in temperatures and magnetic fields as the fraction of the SDW insulating phase changes. Our results strongly support the domain model for the unusually weak orbital superconducting pair-breaking effects observed in the system.
