Abstract
In the organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu(NCS)(2), the dynamic re laxation rate (R) of the magnetization curves is investigated using a micro Hall probe in the field perpendicular to the two-dimensional conduction la yer. R shows a characteristic dip-like minimum in a narrow field region whe re the second magnetization peak on the increasing branch appears. This beh avior of R indicates the existence of an intermediate state between the ord ered and disordered vortex phases.
