Ab initio electronic structure study for TTF-TCNQ under uniaxial compression

We have investigated the electronic structure of TTF-TCNQ under uniaxial compression with ab initio plane-wave pseudopotential calculations within the local-density approximation and generalized gradient approximation. Depending on the compression direction, the constituent molecules are deformed in different ways. Along with these structural deformations, quasi-one-dimensional Fermi surfaces show dramatic changes in their shapes and sizes.
