W. Lubczynski et al., FERMI-SURFACE STUDIES OF THE PRESSURE-INDUCED ORGANIC SUPERCONDUCTOR (ET)(3)CL-2-CENTER-DOT-2H(2)O, Synthetic metals, 70(1-3), 1995, pp. 833-834
The effects of temperature, pressure and magnetic field on the electri
cal transport of single crystal of(ET)(3)Cl-2.2H(2)O are reported. Inc
reasing pressure gradually reduces the ordering temperature of a charg
e density wave ground state from similar to 160 K at 1 bar to 6 K at 1
0.2 kbar. A superconducting state with T-c>4 K is stabilised between 1
0.2 kbar and 13.5 kbar. Above 12.5 kbar, the observation of Shubnikov-
de Haas oscillations allows the pressure dependences of the area of a
closed Fermi surface pocket and the associated carrier effective mass
to be deduced.
