Organic conductors exhibit unusual physical properties due to the critical nature of valence electrons fluctuating under localizing and delocalizing regime. Recently, we discovered that an organic superconductor, α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 [BEDTTTF: bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene], induces optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) along with charge-ordering driven by the repulsive electron-electron ...

Surface atomic-layer (SAL) superconductors consisting of epitaxially grown metal adatoms on a clean semiconductor surface have been recently established. Compared to conventional metal thin films, they have two important features: (i) space-inversion symmetry-breaking throughout the system and (ii) high sensitivity to surface adsorption of foreign species. These potentially lead to manifestatio...

Comparative analysis of structural and electromagnetic characteristics have been performed on nano SiCand polycarbosilane-doped MgB2 samples prepared by the dry and liquid mixing approaches. The total benefit of liquid mixing approach for fabrication of “organic” MgB2 superconductor with excellent electromagnetic performance has been demonstrated.

In this paper, we report transport measurements of interlayer magnetoresistance with field parallel and perpendicular to the current direction in the organic superconductor k-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu@N(CN)2#Br. For HiJ , the isothermal magnetoresistance R(H) displays a peak effect as a function of field. While the magnetoresistance at small field can be fitted to stacked Josephson junction model, the nega...

We report direct observations of anomalous magnetic-field and temperature dependences of the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in the organic superconductor b9-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3. Unlike other BEDT-TTF based organic superconductors, a nonmetallic temperature dependence of the background magnetoresistance is clearly observed. It is speculated that the nonmetallic behavior may arise from a part...
