Abstract
The Field Induced Spin Density Waves (FISDWs) found in organic conductors represent a unique series of transitions which meld
the one-dimensional physics of the Peierls instability with the two-dimensional physics of the Quantum Hall Effect. This paper
presents a pedagogical introduction to the FISDW's in the Bechgaard salts, along with recent experimental results on related
high magnetic field phenomena.
