Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 187003 (2003) [4 pages]Interference Commensurate Oscillations in Quasi-One-Dimensional ConductorsReceived 25 February 2003; published 28 October 2003 We suggest an analytical theory to describe angular magnetoresistance oscillations recently discovered in the quasi-one-dimensional conductor (TMTSF)2PF6 [see Phys. Rev. B 57 7423 (1998)] and define the positions of the oscillation minima. The origin of these oscillations is related to interference effects resulting from Bragg reflections which occur as electrons move along quasiperiodic and periodic (“commensurate”) electron trajectories in the extended Brillouin zone. We reproduce via calculations existing experimental data and predict some novel effects. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
