Item Open Access Organic metals from chiral BEDT-TTF donors(1991) Chen, Ben-ming; Deilacher, Frank; Hoch, Matthias; Keller, Heimo J.; Wu, Pei-ji; Gärtner, Stephan; Kahlich, Siegfried; Schweitzer, DieterWe have shown that is is possible to obtain organic metals from chiral molecules. The X-ray results prove an oxidation number of + 1.5 for the radical cations in at least two cases. To our best knowledge. these are: the first examples of BEDT-TTF-related radical cation salts with this oxidation number. As expected, we obtained statistically disordered crystals, containing the two different enantiomers in a "racemic" mixture. The broad smeared-out phase transitions are probably due to this disorder, or may be caused by the three-dimensional interactions which have been observed, so far, only once in a BEDT-TTF radical salt. We will crystallize the metallic compounds using "optically pure" isomers, in the hope to be able to isolate chiral metals.Item Open Access Proton relaxation in the superconducting organic solid (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2: evidence for relaxation by localized paramagnetic centers(1990) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, DieterThe nonexponential character of the build-up of the nuclear magnetization usually increases on lowering the temperature. Superconducting fluctuations have been offered in a speculative way as an explanation for the nonexponential spin relaxation. We have observed the same relaxation behaviour in our investigation of the proton spin relaxation in (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 which is an organic conductor at room temperature and becomes a superconductor at Tc=10.4 K at ambient pressure. As we noticed during preliminary measurements that the degree of deviation from exponential relaxation depends on the sample under study we decided to do experiments under controlled conditions of sample preparation.Item Open Access Band structure calculation and tunneling measurements in (BEDT-TTF)2X (X=I3, IAuI)(1990) Weger, Meir; Nowack, Andreas; Schweitzer, Dieter; Kübler, Jürgen; Bentum, Jan M. van; Sommers, Charles S.At about the same time when little proposed room-temperature superconductivity in organic polymers, it was suggested that the high-Tc of the more conventional A-15's is associated with their one-dimensional electronic band structure. When TTF-TCNQ was discovered in 1973, it was suggested that the electron-phonon coupling in this 1-D organic molecular crystal is responsible for the metal-to-insulator (Peierls) transition at 52 K2, and reducing λ will cause a crossover to a superconducting state. Since then, the electronic structure, the conduction mechanism, and the superconducting mechanism were subject to controversy. Therefore, it is of some importance to establish whether the electronic band structure, and conduction mechanism, are similar to those in more conventional metals, and whether the superconductivity mechanism is the normal BCS phonon-mediated interaction.Item Open Access Structural aspects of organic superconductors(1990) Schweitzer, DieterSome physical properties of the organic superconductors with the highest transition temperatures are presented. In addition the influence of small structural changes on the superconducting transition temperature is discussed. Finally bulk superconductivity in polycrystalline pressed pellets of organic metals is reported.
