Kinetic Phenomena and Collective Modes in Highly Anisotropic Organic Conductors

The authors present a review of experimental and theoretical studies of transport phenomena in strongly anisotropic organic conductors. Considerable attention is paid to the phenomena that are specific to quasi\-2D and quasi\-1D conductive structures and have no analogues both in ordinary metals and in truly 2D or 1D conducting systems. Angular magnetoresistance<\/p>

oscillations, de Haas\-van Alphen and Shubnikov\-de Haas phenomena, high\-temperature quantum oscillations of the magnetoresistance, and high\-frequency resonances, including those arising due to the movement of electrons on open trajectories, are discussed. The resonant angular oscillations of high\-frequency conductivity and weakly damped electromagnetic waves in quasi\-2D organic conductors under strong spatial dispersion are considered. High frequency collective processes in highly anisotropic conducting systems in the presence of an external magnetic field are reviewed, <\/p>

taking into account the Fermi\-liquid interaction. The specific properties of the quasi\-two\-dimensional electron energy spectrum and of the Fermi \-liquid interaction in layered conductors leads to occurrence of weakly\-damping eigen oscillations of the electron and spin densities which are absent in a quasi\-isotropic metal.<\/p>
