    Resonant Raman scattering from superconducting gap excitations in single crystals of (BEDT-TTF)2I3
    (1993) Graja, Andrzej; Pokhodnia, Konstantin I.; Weger, Meir; Schweitzer, Dieter
    A study of low-energetic resonant Raman scattering of αt- and βH-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 superconductor was performed. The softening and weakening of the low frequency optical phonons at about 30 cm-1 in the superconducting state of both αt- and βH-phases were observed below Tc.

    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, Dieter
    We 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.

    Proton spin-lattice relaxation in the organic superconductor (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 : evidence for relaxation by localized paramagnetic centres
    (1990) Klutz, Thomas; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, Dieter
    The spin-lattice relaxation of the protons in the compound was investigated at nu L=13.5 MHz and 270 MHz for 4.2 K10 K and becomes non-exponential for T<10 K. At nu L=13.5 MHz the transition from exponential to noticeably non-exponential relaxation occurs already at T approximately=25 K. The cause for the non-exponential proton relaxation in the coarse grains is finite penetration of the RF-field (skin-effect) into the electrically conducting crystals. Powdering the crystals suppresses the skin-effect; this procedure, however, generates relaxation sinks in the form of localized paramagnetic centres. There is reason to believe that the skin-effect in coarse grains and generation of relaxation sinks by a powdering procedure complicate proton relaxation studies as well in other organic superconductors.

    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, Dieter
    The 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.

    Specific heat of the organic superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF)2I3
    (1994) Wosnitza, Joachim; Liu, Xiao; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.
    We present high-resolution specific-heat, C, measurements on a large (4.47 mg) single crystal of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 from 0.25 to 20 K in zero and different magnetic fields. The electronic specific-heat coefficient in the normal state is extracted to γ=(18.9±1.5) mJ K-2 mol-1. For the ratio ΔC/(γTc), where ΔC is the jump of C at Tc=3.4 K, a value of 1.6±0.2 consistent with the BCS prediction of 1.43 is found. The exact form of ΔC(T), the specific-heat difference between the superconducting and the normal state, however, deviates somewhat from the BCS dependence but might be explained by strong coupling. In magnetic fields applied perpendicular to the highly conducting b-c plane the height of the jump in C is strongly reduced and broadened with a concomitant reduction of Tc. In a field of B=0.5 T above Bc2 at low temperatures a hyperfine contribution to C is found which is larger than the value expected by nuclear hyperfine interaction alone.

    Magnetically modulated microwave absorption (MMMA) at low magnetic fields in (BEDT-TTF)-superconductors
    (1994) Bele, Petra; Brunner, Hermann; Schweitzer, Dieter; Keller, Heimo J.
    We report magnetically modulated microwave absorption (MMMA) at low magnetic fields in crystals of the organic superconductors αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2. In both cases a strong MMMA-signal can easily be found below the critical temperature Tc. In some selected crystals series of narrow, periodically spaced lines are observed comparable to corresponding spectra of the CuO-type high Tcsuperconductors. A model developed for the HTSC's single crystals is used to interpret the results of the organic superconductors.

    Field- and frequency dependent transport in the two-dimensional organic conductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3
    (1994) Dressel, Martin; Grüner, George; Pouget, Jean-Paul; Breining, Angela; Schweitzer, Dieter
    We studied the electrodynamic response of α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 in a wide range of frequency, covering microwave and millimeter wave frequencies as well as the optical spectral range, and found a frequency dependent conductivity up to 1000 cm-1 in the low temperature phase. This is accompanied be a non-linear transport with a smooth onset at about 10 V /cm. Our X-ray studies show no indication of superstructure reflections and clearly rule out the formation of a charge density wave ground state. The lack of a temperature dependence in the millimeter wave conductivity between 20 K and 100 K makes hopping transport unlikely.

    Microwave hall mobility and conductivity in crystals of various (BEDT-TTF) radical salts
    (1991) Dressel, Martin; Helberg, Hans Wilhelm; Schweitzer, Dieter
    We report investigations of the microwave transport properties carried out on the organic conductors and superconductors of (BEDT-TTF)-salts: α-, αt- and β-(BEDT-TTF)2I3, α-(BEDT-TTF)3(NO3)2 and x-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2. The anisotropy and temperature dependence (300 K to 4 K) of the high-frequency conductivity was measured in a microwave cavity at 10.3 GHz. There is low anisotropy in the high conducting plane of the quasi two-dimensional crystals of the (BEDT-TTF)-family, e.g. the (a,b)-plane in β-(BEDT-TTF)2I3; perpendicular to this the microwave conductivity is one order of magnitude lower. At room temperature the microwave Hall mobility at 9.5 GHz of the different phases of (BEDT-TTF)2I3 and (BEDT-TTF)3(NO3)2 is 100 to 200 cm2/Vs in the high conducting planes of the crystals.

    Knight shift tensors and π-spin densities in the organic metals αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 and (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2
    (1991) Klutz, Thomas; Hennig, Ingolf; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Schweitzer, Dieter
    13C-MASS spectra of pure BEDT-TTF and of the organic metals αt-(BEDT-TTF) 2I 3 and (BEDT-TTF) 2Cu(NCS)2 were recorded at νL - 68 MHz. Isotropic shifts and the principal components of the shift tensors were determined, respectively, from the center and spinning side bands. For pure BEDT-TTF which is a diamagnetic insolator, the measured shifts are chemica/ shifts, while for the organic metals they are the sum of chemical and Knight shifts. In each of the compounds the shifts are assigned in groups to the inner, middle and outer carbons of the BEDT-TTF molecule. For the organic metals the separation of the experimental shifts into chemical and Knight shifts is discussed. From the anisotropic part of the Knight shift tensors the π-spin densities at the carbon and sulphur positions of the BEDT-TTF molecule are inferred. The result is that the π-spin density of the unpaired hole is concentrated on the center part of the BEDT-TTF molecuIe, i.e. on the inner and middle carbons, and on the inner sulphurs. It is argued that the current density is concentrated on this part of the BEDT-TTF molecule as well.
