Popis: It is theoretically predicted that the ground state of the one-dimensional (1D) half-filled system is the Mott insulator at any positive on-site Coulomb interaction U . In this paper, we demonstrate that (TTM-TTP)I 3 with a highly 1D half-filled energy band is almost metallized by the application of pressure beyond 7 GPa. We find that the metal–insulator transition temperature decreases linearly with increasing pressure and is directing towards 0 K near 10 GPa. Above 5.7 GPa, the metallic behaviors are observed in the high-temperature region for 70 < T < 300 K, in which the temperature dependence of the resistivity is described by ρ( T ) ∝ T α with α∼0.3. The nature of the metallic state is discussed in terms of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid described by the Hubbard model.
