Abstract
13CNMR measurements have been performed to investigate the nature of the insulating state of a quasi-one-dimensional conductor, (DIDCNQI)2Ag, with a quarter-filled band. The 4kF charge-density wave has been evidenced below about 220 K by the line separation of the 13CNMR spectra, which shows a clear charge disproportionation instead of the lattice dimerization encountered in most cases. The present case demonstrates the Wigner crystallization of electrons in the charge-transfer salt and a crucial role of the long-range Coulomb interaction.
