چکیده

We report high-field magnetotransport measurements on b9-(BEDT-TTF)4@(H3O)M (C2O4)3#Y , where M 5Ga, Cr, and Fe and Y5C5H5N. We observe similar Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in all compounds, attributable to four quasi-two-dimensional Fermi-surface pockets, the largest of which corresponds to a crosssectional area '8.5% of the Brillouin zone. The cross-sectional areas of the pockets are in agreement with the expectations for a compensated semimetal, and the corresponding effective masses are ;me , rather small compared to those of other BEDT-TTF salts. Apart from the case of the smallest Fermi-surface pocket, varying the M ion seems to have little effect on the overall Fermi-surface topology or on the effective masses. Despite the fact that all samples show quantum oscillations at low temperatures, indicative of Fermi liquid behavior, the sample and temperature dependence of the interlayer resistivity suggest that these systems are intrinsically inhomogeneous. It is thought that intrinsic tendency to disorder in the anions and/or the ethylene groups of the BEDT-TTF molecules leads to the coexistence of insulating and metallic states at low temperatures. A notional phase diagram is given for the general family of b9-(BEDT-TTF)4@(H3O)M (C2O4)3#Y salts.

Angle-resolved photoemission study on low-dimensional systems

Peculiarity of crystal structures of materials has a great influence on their electronic structures such as Fermi surface topology, which in turn govern various physical properties. Especially, the low dimensionality of the system sometimes causes unusual physical properties. For example, a couple of parallel planar Fermi surfaces gives a strong tendency toward non-metallic states in one dimens...

Anisotropic mobility and carrier dynamics in the β-type BEDT-TTF salts as studied by inter-layer transverse magnetoresistance

A new method to estimate an in-plane conduction anisotropy in a quasi-two-dimensional (q2D) layered conductor by measuring the inter-layer transverse magnetoresistance is proposed. We applied this method to layered organic conductors β-(BEDT-TTF)2X (BEDT-TTF = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, C10H8S8; X = IBr2, I2Br) by applying magnetic field rotating within the basal plane at 4.2 K. We ...

Superconducting properties and Fermi-surface topology of the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor λ-(BETS)2GaCl4

The Fermi surface topology of the organic superconductor λ(BETS)2GaCl4 has been determined using the Shubnikov-de Haas and magnetic breakdown effects and angle-dependent magnetoresistance oscillations. The former experiments were carried out in pulsed fields of up to 60 T, whereas the latter employed quasistatic fields of up to 30 T. All of these data show that the Fermi-surface topology of λ-(...
