    Metallic coordination polymers using CS2 as starting material
    (1987) Keller, Heimo J.; Klutz, Thomas; Münstedt, Helmut; Renner, Gerd; Schweitzer, Dieter
    Organic polymers with "metallic" properties have found widespread interest during the last few years. Acetylene and aniline as well as different nitrogen and sulfur heterocycles have been used as starting materials. One main problem hampering the technical application of these solids up to now is their environmental and thermal instability. Therefore, we introduced metal ions to stabilize polymeric backbones with high electrical conductivity. Because of the enormous coordination ability of sulfur to many transition metal ions we decided to use a polymeric carbon-sulfur backbone.

    A stable superconducting state at 8K and ambient pressure in αt-(BEDT-TTF)2I3
    (1987) Schweitzer, Dieter; Bele, Petra; Brunner, Hermann; Gogu, Emil; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Hennig, Ingolf; Klutz, Thomas; Swietlik, Roman; Keller, Heimo J.
    We report bulk superconductivity at 8 K and ambient pressure in crystals of α t (BEDT-TTF)2I3. In contrast to the earlier observed metastable superconducting state at 8 K in crystals of β-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 here the superconducting state is stable and the crystals can be prepared by tempering α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 above 70 °C for several days. ac-susceptibility measurements show that the observed superconducting state at 8 K is a bulk property of the crystals. Resistivity measurements indicate a sharp superconducting transition at 8 K with an onset temperature of about 9 K. The upper critical fields Hc2 at 1.3 K lie between 3 and 11 T depending on the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the crystal axes. ESR- as well as NMR-measurements indicate a total transformation of the α-phase crystals into the new superconducting α t -crystals after tempering.

    Superconductivity at 10 K and ambient pressure in the organic metal (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(SCN)2
    (1988) Gärtner, Stephan; Gogu, Emil; Heinen, Ilsabe; Keller, Heimo J.; Klutz, Thomas; Schweitzer, Dieter
    We confirm the observation of superconductivity at ambient pressure above 10 K in the organic metal (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(SCN)2 as reported recently by Urayama et al [12]. In addition we have measured ESR, ac-susceptibility and thermopower in crystals of (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(SCN)2 and have shown that in contrast to other organic superconductors here a relatively sharp superconducting transition even in the ac-susceptibility can be observed which saturates already around 8 K. The thermopower measurements indicate a clear metal-metal phase transition at 100 K and a possible second phase transition at around 50 K, while from the temperature dependence of the resistivity and susceptibility (ESR) these phase transitions cannot be observed.

    Superconductivity at ambient pressure in BEDT-TTF radical salts
    (1988) Schweitzer, Dieter; Polychroniadis, K.; Klutz, Thomas; Keller, Heimo J.; Hennig, Ingolf; Heinen, Ilsabe; Haeberlen, Ulrich; Gogu, Emil; Gärtner, Stephan
    Crystals of (BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 were prepared by several methods and the superconducting transitions investigated by resistivity and ac susceptibility measurements. Depending on the preparation of the crystals a variation of the temperature of the superconducting transition is observed. This variation is manifested in the upper critical fields Hc2 and proton NMR relaxation measurements at temperatures below Tc show it as well. The upper critical fields Hc2 of crystals of αt(BEDT-TTF)2I3 were determined in dependence of the temperature and of the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the various crystal axes by measuring the mid transition of the resistivity and of the rf penetration depth. The data are analyzed with the anisotropic effective mass model in the picture of the Ginsburg Landau (Gl) theory as well as in the picture of a layered superconductor. 13C Knight shifts measured by magic angle sample spinning and NMR cross polarisation methods support the picture of the layered superconductor.

    Electrochemically prepared radical salts of BEDT-TTF: molecular metals and superconductors
    (1987) Schweitzer, Dieter; Gogu, Emil; Hennig, Ingolf; Klutz, Thomas; Keller, Heimo J.
    The structural, electronic and superconducting properties of several electrochemically prepared BEDT-TTF radical salts are discussed.
