Abstract
We report studies of the magnetoresistance in the spin-ordered
state of the quasi one-dimensional (TMTSF)2PF6. We have found that
both frequency and anisotropy of the magnetoresistance oscillations are
independent of temperature; this proves temperature independence of the
geometry of two-dimensional closed contours at the Fermi level. On the other
hand, the oscillation amplitude decay as temperature decreases, the latter
result indicates depopulation of the closed contours in the T=0 limit. We
propose an explanation for the above seemingly controversial results.
