Abstract
The study of the anion ordered (TMTSF)2ClO4(1 − x)ReO4x solid solution in the limit of a low ReO4− substitution level (0 ≤ x ≤ 17%) has revealed a new and interesting phase diagram. Superconductivity is drastically suppressed as the effect of ReO4− non-magnetic point defects increases following the digamma behaviour for usual superconductors in the presence of paramagnetic impurities. Then, no long-range order can be stabilized above 0.1 K in a narrow window of substitution. Finally, an insulating SDW ground state in ReO4−-rich samples is rapidly stabilized with the decrease of the potential strength leading to the doubling of the transverse periodicity. This extensive study has shown that the superconducting order parameter must change its sign over the Fermi surface.

The pseudogap in high-temperature superconductors: an experimental survey

TL;DR: The pseudogap is seen in all high-temperature superconductors and there is general agreement on the temperature and doping range where it exists as discussed by the authors, and it is also becoming clear that the superconducting gap emerges from the normal state pseudogaps.

Pairing symmetry in cuprate superconductors

TL;DR: The recent development of phase-sensitive tests, combined with the refinement of several other symmetry-sensitive techniques, has for the most part settled this controversy in favor of predominantly $d$-wave symmetry for a number of optimally hole-and electron-doped cuprates as mentioned in this paper.

Stability of the spin density wave phases in (TMTSF)2ClO4 : quantized nesting effect

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of SDW phases in (TMTSF) 2 ClO 4 can be interpreted by simple arguments of anisotropic Fermi surfaces nesting: first, they show that anion ordering, by introducing new Bragg's reflexions, perturbs the nesting and lowers the SDW stability, and then they improve Gor'kov and Lebed's argument on the effect of a magnetic field on nesting by allowing the wave vector Q(H) to adapt to the field so that nesting is quantized.

Influence of the Cooling Rate on the Superconducting Properties of the Organic Solid Di-Tetramethyltetraselenafulvalenium-Perchlorate, ( TMTSF ) 2 Cl O 4

TL;DR: In this article, specific-heat measurements on the organic solid di-tetramethyltetraselenafulvalenium-perchlorate (TTE-ELena) were obtained and shown that the cooling rate below 40 K is changed from 0.1 K/min (relaxed state) to 10 K/m (quenched state).
