Title
Blue Martini
Technique
Density Functional Theory based simulation derived data plotted with Gnuplot.
Description
The picture shows a blue island of maxima of a linear response function. This island indicates that in this particular class of materials (Bechgaard salts) the Fermi surface nesting could be equally driven by a wide series of nesting vectors, which would be driving the system from a metallic to a Spin Density Wave phase. This spectacular nesting mechanism is observed only in this kind of materials up so far. Moreover, this mechanism provides ground in understanding the superconducting character in these materials.
