Abstract

We report accurate Hall effect measurements performed in the normal phase of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductor $(TMTSF)_{2} {PF}_{6}$ at ambient pressure. The Hall coefficient is found to be strongly temperature dependent all the way from 300 K down to the spin density wave onset arising around 12 K. These new results emphasize the existence of a high temperature regime above 130 K where the Fermi liquid model is not satisfactory.
