Abstract
The local magnetic induction is measured in, the quasi-two dimensional orga nic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2) Cu(NCS)(2) by using a micro Hall pro be. The small step is observed on the temperature dependence of the local m agnetic induction. This result implies the existence of the first-order pha se transition of the vortex system in this organic superconductor as is alr eady reported in, high-T-c oxide and other organic superconductors.
