We present a detailed structural investigation of the organic superconductor $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Br at temperatures $T$ from 9 to 300 K. Anomalies in the $T$ dependence of the lattice parameters are associated with a…
We present results of the coefficient of thermal expansion for the frustrated quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductor $\theta$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$RbZn(SCN)$_4$ for temperatures 1.5 K $\leq T \leq$ 290 K. A pronounced first-order phase…
The thermal conductivity of organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 (Tc =10.4 K) has been studied in a magnetic field rotating within the 2D superconducting planes with high alignment precision. At low temperatures (T < 0.5 K), a…
The vortex state in a single crystal of the layered organic superconductor \kappa-(BEDT-TTF2Cu(NCS)2, where BEDT-TTF (or ET) is bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene, was studied by 1H-NMR. Under a low field region around 0.75 T, the vortex…
We report high-sensitivity AC susceptibility measurements of the penetration depth in the Meissner state of the layered organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br. We have studied nominally pure single crystals from the two…
High-resolution specific-heat measurements of the organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br in the superconducting (B = 0) and normal (B = 14 T) state show a clearly resolvable anomaly at Tc = 11.5 K and an electronic…
We have studied the interlayer resistivity of the prototypical quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$ as a function of temperature, current and magnetic field, within the superconducting state. We…
We present high-resolution measurements of the relative length change as a function of temperature of the organic charge-transfer salt $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Hg(SCN)$_2$Cl. We identify anomalous features at $T_g \approx\,63$ K which can be…
The superconducting transition in the layered organic compound \alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2KHg(SCN)_4 has been studied in the two hydrostatic pressure regimes where a charge-density wave is either present or completely suppressed. Within the…
We present measurements of the low temperature specific heat of single crystals of kappa-(ET)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br as a function of the cooling rate through the glasslike structure transition at $\sim$ 80K. We find that rapid cooling produces a…
A muon-spin relaxation (muSR) investigation is presented for the molecular superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2Br]. Evidence is found for low-temperature phase-separation, with only a fraction of the sample showing a superconducting…
Angle and temperature dependent torque magnetization measurements are reported for the organic superconductor kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2, at extremely low temperatures (approx. Tc/10^3). Magneto-thermal instabilities are observed in the form…
In an ultrasonic experiment, we have investigated the temperature profile of the velocity of longitudinal elastic waves propagating along a direction perpendicular to the layers in the organic superconductors kappa-(BEDT-TTF)_2X, X =…
The organic charge-transfer salt $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Hg(SCN)$_{2}$Br is a quasi two-dimensional metal with a half-filled conduction band at ambient conditions. When cooled below $T=80$ K it undergoes a pronounced transition to an…
Superconductivity in organic conductors is often tuned by the application of chemical or external pressure. With this type of tuning, orbital overlaps and electronic bandwidths are manipulated, whilst the properties of the molecular…
We report the in-plane microwave surface impedance of a high quality single crystal of \kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br. In the superconducting state, we find three independent signatures of d-wave pairing: i) a strong, linear temperature…
We present high-resolution measurements of the coefficient of thermal expansion $\alpha (T)=\partial \ln l(T)/\partial T$ of the quasi-twodimensional (quasi-2D) salts $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$X with X = Cu(NCS)$_2$, Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Br and…
Single crystals of the layered organic type II superconductor, $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_{2}$Cu(NCS)$_{2}$, have been studied in magnetic fields of up to 33 T and at temperatures between 0.5 K and 11 K using a compact differential susceptometer.…
Partial suppression of superconductivity by fast cooling has been observed in the organic superconductor $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu[N(CN)$_2$]Br by two means: a marked sample size effect on the magnetic susceptibility and direct imaging of…
The fascinating electronic properties of the family of layered organic molecular crystals kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2X where X is an anion (e.g., X=I3, Cu[N(CN)2]Br, Cu(SCN)2) are reviewed. These materials are particularly interesting because of…
